Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turners Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the horizon.
To start, it’s pretty flat and quiet. From now through Tuesday, July 15th, the surf is tiny – mostly under 3 ft with weak energy and short intervals. Winds are light but onshore or cross-shore, so the surface is messy. Not worth wetting the wetsuit.
Then things go big. Wednesday afternoon, July 16th, sees a jump to 8 ft swell from the south, but with a short 7-second period and rain showers. Combined energy hits moderate levels (524). It’s clean but tough.
Thursday and Friday, July 17th-18th, bring the biggest swell of the forecast: 15 ft from the SSE with a 10-second period. Combined energy readings of 3486 to 3715 – that’s strong to very strong. Winds are offshore at 20-25 mph, so surf will be clean, but paddling into these is for experts only. Water temp is about 70°, which is average for the time of year. The standout window for experts is Turners Beach on Saturday, July 19th: solid 11-13 ft SE swell (combined energy of 2996 to 4233) with moderate offshore winds (SSE 15-16 mph) and clean conditions. This is the best on offer – real groundswell with a 10-11 second period and offshore breeze all day. Expect powerful, well-shaped waves, but only for advanced surfers. Crowds are possible, and the break is very consistent.
Monday, July 20th, is still good with 7-8 ft E swell (combined energy around 1000-1200) and light offshore winds – clean and surfable for a wider range. But from Tuesday onward, it drops fast, falling below 3 ft by Thursday, July 23rd. A small bump on Sunday, July 26th, brings 7 ft southerly swell, but period is short (8 seconds) and winds are up, so quality is average.
Bottom line: The first week is a bust. The standout day is Saturday, July 19th at Turners Beach for big, clean, expert-only surf. Monday, July 20th, is your best bet for something more manageable. After that, it fades out again.
Rusty.

Information about the Turners Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Turners Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Turners Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Turners Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Turners Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Turners Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
