The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s hitting Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. Wednesday morning’s a washout with a weak 4ft NE windswell and a cross-on breeze, giving us a weak energy reading (165). The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off wind, but it’s still nothing to write home about. The first real sign of life comes Thursday afternoon, with a 5ft SSE swell and a solid offshore wind from the SE. That’s clean, rideable, and has moderate energy (311). It’s not huge, but it’s workable.
The best of the first week is Sunday the 30th. The morning has a solid 6ft SSE swell at 10 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind and strong energy (600). The afternoon holds that same size with the same clean conditions. That’s the best combo of size and quality we’ve seen. Then, Monday the 31st is a real treat – a 3ft swell but with a massive 18-second period and huge energy (908). That’s a proper groundswell with some serious push. The afternoon sees a 4ft SSE swell with a 17-second period and even stronger energy (1065). This is the highlight of the whole forecast. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
After that Monday, it dries up fast. We get a glassy morning on Tuesday the 1st of September, with a small 3ft swell, but it’s still ordinary. Then we hit a long, quiet patch from the 2nd through the 5th of September. Tiny waves, bad winds, and nothing worth paddling for.
Then on Sunday the 6th of September, a pulse arrives. The morning has a 7ft S swell at 7 seconds, which is short-period and a bit lumpy, but the energy is moderate (485) and the wind is light. The afternoon, though, is for experts only – a 10ft SSE swell comes in with a 8-second period and a cross-shore wind. That’s big, messy, and more of a kite setup than a paddle session. The Monday morning after that, the 7th, is much more manageable with a 6ft SSE swell and a clean offshore wind, moderate energy (741).
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and ordinary. The real call? Lock in the 30th and 31st of August. That’s your best surf.
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.
