The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this stretch is a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got a long gap of nothing much happening before we even get a sniff of something rideable. The first few days are pretty grim, with poor surf conditions and hardly any energy. It’s not until Monday, the 24th of August, that we see a glimmer of something surfable, but even then, it’s ordinary.

The real standout in this whole outlook is Turners Beach. It’s a very consistent, sheltered beginner-friendly spot, and the best of what’s on offer. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to get wet is on the morning of Monday, 24th August. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the south, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 116, so it’s not packing any punch. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the south, making it clean. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s a small, clean wave for a beginner to get a few soft ones.

Saturday morning, 29th August, offers a bit more hope. The swell is 3ft from the ENE, period is still short at 8 seconds, but the magic is in the wind – it’s glassy. Absolute perfection for a clean, smooth surface. The combined energy is up to 235, so there’s a bit more push. This is a genuine window to get out there and have a fun session on a small, clean board.

The next notable mention is Friday morning, 4th September. The swell is 3ft from the ENE, period is a better 10 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the SSE. The combined energy is 278. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but honestly, with clean offshore wind and a bit of period, it’s likely the best shaped wave in the whole run.

For a beginner, the glassy Saturday morning on the 29th is the pick. The water’s average, the waves are small and clean. For a more experienced surfer wanting a bit more form, the Friday morning on the 4th of September is the one to aim for, with a longer period and offshore wind.

Don't expect any big, pumping days. The whole period is a gentle, small-scale affair. If you’re a kiter, the increased wind on some afternoons might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a case of picking the cleanest windows and enjoying the small stuff.

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.
