The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Turners Beach.

Honestly, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got barely a ripple on Tuesday the 14th, with a tiny 1-foot southerly slop. You’re better off staying home. The swell builds a little Wednesday the 15th, but that 19 mph southerly wind in the afternoon is going to be a mess, even if the size bumps up to 8 feet. It’s a no-go.

Things start to get interesting on Thursday the 16th. We see a real jump in energy with a 10-foot southerly swell pushing in by morning, and the wind finally swings offshore out of the SSE at 19 mph. That’s a solid winter swell, but that’s a lot of water moving, and the period is a short 8 seconds. This is a wave for experienced surfers only. The energy is strong (1356), but the conditions are still a bit raw. The wind stays fresh and offshore through Friday the 17th, with a 7-foot south-easterly swell. It’s a bit cleaner, with moderate offshore breeze, but still a hefty wave for a beach break.

The real standout looks like Sunday the 19th. We’ve got a 13-foot SSE groundswell arriving in the morning with a longer 11-second period and a very strong energy reading (3499). That’s some serious juice. The wind is fresh offshore, so it’ll be clean. But mate, at that size, this is expert-only territory. It’s going to be a big, powerful, closing-out day at a beach break. Not for the faint of heart.

The next clear window for a better quality wave is Monday the 20th. The swell drops to a more manageable 8 feet from the east, with a 10-second period. The wind is moderate offshore, and the energy is still strong (1417). This is a much better bet for a strong surfer, with cleaner conditions and good shape.

Looking further out, the quality picks up again on Wednesday the 22nd into Thursday the 23rd. We see an 8-foot easterly swell with a very long period of 12 to 13 seconds and a very strong energy reading (1513-1755). This is proper groundswell. The wind is offshore or cross-off, making for some clean, powerful lines. That longer period will make paddling out easier, but at a beach break, these long-period easterly swells can be a bit straight and hard to find a good peak. Still, these are the best waves on offer in the second week.

The water temperature is sitting right around 69°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

For the best of the bunch, I’d have to say Thursday the 23rd afternoon is the highlight. That 8-foot easterly swell with a 13-second period, clean offshore wind, and very strong energy is a classic setup. It’s a big, powerful, and clean wave for those who can handle it. Don’t expect it to be empty though; Turners can get crowded.

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.
