The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here, checking in on the surf for Turners Beach. Let’s have a look at the charts.

Right off the bat, it’s a tough start. There’s a gap of a few days here with nothing really to write home about. The first few days are a bit of a write-off for a proper session. We’re looking at Friday the 7th of August and the swell is tiny, with a combined energy of only 97 (weak). The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for the time of year with a slight -0.5° anomaly, so nothing to worry about with the wetsuit.

The real action doesn’t kick in until the following week. The standouts are shaping up for the 14th and 15th of August. Friday the 14th afternoon is looking promising. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, folks. The combined energy is 818 (moderate) and the wind is a light cross-off breeze. That’s clean and should offer some good shape. Saturday the 15th is also a contender. The morning shows a bit of a lumpy 6ft swell from the south, but the afternoon cleans right up with a solid 5ft from the SSE and a strong offshore wind. The energy there is 497 (moderate) and it’s clean, so that’s a solid session.

After that, there’s a bit of a run from the 19th to the 22nd of August. The 19th afternoon is worth a look with a 5ft swell from the east, moderate offshore wind, and a combined energy of 484 (moderate). The 20th morning has a 6ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is cross-off, which is still good. The 22nd of August – that Saturday morning – is a real dark horse. The wind is glassy, and the swell is 4ft from the east at 10 seconds. That’s a lovely clean window if you can get out.

Turners Beach itself is a sheltered, very consistent beginner spot. It’s exposed to the south-easterly swell, which is what we’re getting a lot of. The best direction for this break is a south-easterly swell, so that’s a good match. Crowds are listed as "sometimes", so expect a few heads out there on the good days, especially on the weekend.

The big 6ft on the 15th morning is a bit sizey for learners, but for the rest of us, it’s a sweet spot. The long period swell on the 14th (13 seconds) is a classic groundswell. It’ll have some energy and will be better for a point or reef setup, but at a beach break, it might be a bit too straight. Still, it’s a clean, offshore wind situation, so it’s a go.

Alright, that’s the story. The first week is a wait, but the second half of the 16-day window has some real treats. Get ready for the 14th and 15th.

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.
