The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Turners Beach.

We’re heading into a patchy stretch, mate. The first few days are pretty grim, with nothing really worth paddling out for until the end of the week. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

It’s a slow start. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are a write-off—poor surf, messy cross-onshore winds, and weak, short-period junk. Not worth a second look.

Thursday the 27th morning, we finally see a flicker of life. The wind swings offshore from the south at 12 mph, and we get a clean 3ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 94, so it’s small and average, but at least it’s clean. It’s surfable but ordinary. Thursday afternoon picks up a touch with a 4ft SSE swell and clean conditions, energy bumping to 275, but still nothing to write home about.

Friday the 28th morning is the first real highlight. Glassy conditions, a clean 3ft SSE groundswell with a 9-second period, and combined energy of 284. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly wave. This is the best on offer in the first week. If you’re free, that’s your window for a mellow session.

Saturday the 29th afternoon gets interesting. A solid 5ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and moderate offshore wind from the SSE at 16 mph. Combined energy is a strong 559. This is good surf, but that size is starting to push it for beginners. The wind is offshore and clean, so for the intermediate crew, this is a standout session.

Sunday the 30th afternoon is similar—5ft SSE, offshore wind, energy at 499. Good surf again, but the same size caveat applies.

Now, Monday the 31st morning is a sneaky gem. A 3ft SSE groundswell but with a very long 18-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 965. That kind of period means it’s a proper groundswell with heaps of push for its size. Offshore wind from the SSE at 9 mph. This wave will hold up well on the point or reef, but at a beach break, that long period might make it a bit too straight. Still, for the experienced surfer, this is a quality, clean session.

After that, it drops right off. From Tuesday the 1st of September onward, we’ve got a long gap of poor to ordinary conditions, with small swell and choppy onshore winds. Nothing worth chasing until maybe Sunday the 7th of September afternoon, when a 5ft SE swell with glassy conditions and energy of 548 pops up. That’s promising but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

If you’re looking for the best of the bunch, Friday the 28th morning is the pick for a relaxed, clean small-wave day. For something with more punch and clean offshore wind, Saturday the 29th afternoon is your standout.

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.
