The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Turners Beach. It’s a slow start, so don’t get your hopes up too early. There’s a long stretch of nothing much before we finally see some real waves. The first decent session shapes up on Friday the 14th, but the real gold comes later.

First few days – Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th – are pretty sad. Tiny swell, wind all over the place, surf is flat and messy. Monday and Tuesday are even worse with strong onshore winds and no quality. Wednesday and Thursday stay small, though Thursday afternoon does clean up with light offshore breezes.

Then, Friday the 14th shows some life. Morning has a 5ft SSE swell running with a 11-second period, light southwest cross-offshore winds, and clean faces. The combined energy is moderate (539). Not huge, but it’s your first real chance for a proper surf with decent shape.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are rainy and windy, but Sunday afternoon gives you a surprise – a 6ft SSE swell, short period, moderate offshore wind, and clean conditions (471). A bit rough around the edges, but worth a look.

Now, the good stuff: Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. These are the go-to days. Monday morning sees a 7ft SE swell with a short period, light southeast offshore wind, and strong energy (518). Tuesday keeps it pumping with 6ft SE swell and cleaner conditions (426). Tuesday afternoon is also sweet – 6ft SE swell, gentle offshore wind, clean (414). The swell is moderate energy and short period, so expect punchy, fast waves. Not for beginners – the short period means steep takeoffs and closeouts in sections.

Wednesday the 19th pushes bigger – up to 7.5ft SE swell – but the quality drops off with marginal conditions and a cross-offshore breeze. Energy is strong (673), but it’s lumpy. Thursday the 20th recovers with 5.5ft to 7ft SSE/SE swell and light offshore winds, clean – good for intermediates.

And then, Friday the 21st – this is the one. Morning glassy conditions with a 7ft ESE swell, moderate energy (545), and dead calm wind – 5 mph from the northwest. That’s a rare treat at Turners Beach. The waves will be clean, crisp, and punchy. Best for experienced surfers – the short period keeps things quick and steep.

After that, it falls apart. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd get bigger but messy with cross-onshore winds and chop.

So, bottom line: if you want the best, Friday the 21st is your day – glassy, solid 7ft swell, clean all morning. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are close behind. Everything else is flat, blown out, or average.

Stay frothy.

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.
