The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
We’re in for a bit of a slow start, with nothing really worth paddling out for until the very end of the first week. The first decent chance to get wet comes later on, but the real standout window is shaping up for the second week, with a couple of days that look seriously good.
We’ll kick things off with Turners Beach. It’s a very consistent spot, so it’s always got a pulse, but for the first few days the conditions are just ordinary. The water temp is sitting right around 68°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real hope comes on Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. The swell is going to be a clean 5ft from the SSE (239 combined energy), and we’ve got a moderate offshore wind from the SSE. That’s a solid combo for this sheltered spot, and the waves should be clean and fun. A nice little option for an afternoon session.
But the real highlight, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Thursday morning, September 10th. The swell holds at 5ft from the SSE, but the period stretches out to 11 seconds, giving it some real push and energy (507 combined energy). The wind is completely glassy from the SW. That’s about as good as it gets for Turners Beach. The waves will be clean, the lines will be long, and it’s going to be a beauty of a morning. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so you might have a few others in the water, but with conditions this good, it’s a no-brainer.
After that, the surf drops off again. The rest of the second week looks pretty ordinary with weak, small swells and poor wind directions, so don’t get your hopes up for anything else. The Thursday morning stand-out is your best bet by a long shot.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
