The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, looking at Turners Beach in feet and miles per hour.

It’s gonna be a bumpy start, no two ways about it. The first real shot at good, clean waves doesn’t come until Monday, July 20th. The water temp is about 69°, which is dead on average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.

The standout window is the 20th and 21st of July. Monday morning (20th) we’ve got a solid 10-foot swell coming from the ESE, with a moderate offshore breeze from the SE. The energy is moderate-strong (2082). The period is around 10 seconds, so it’s got some good shape, and it’s clean. Monday afternoon holds up well too, with a 10-foot ESE swell and an 11-second period, making for some nice, long lines. Tuesday the 21st is still good – the swell drops a bit to 8 feet from the E, but the wind goes light offshore from the SE (9 mph), so it’s clean and a lot easier to paddle. The energy drops to moderate (1130), but it’s a much more manageable day.

The first few days, from the 15th through the 19th, are pretty wild. We’re looking at 12-foot to 13-foot southerly swells, but the wind is howling at 18 to 25 mph. That’s a lot of water moving fast, and the energy values are huge (1493 to 3531). With a short period around 7-8 seconds, it’s gonna be a messy, bumpy mess. Honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. The waves are too big and unruly for a beginner, and even for the experienced crew, it’s a real slog.

After the 21st, the swell fades. The 22nd of July still has some fun 5-foot to 6-foot E swell, and on Wednesday afternoon (22nd) it turns glassy – that’s a real treat. But from the 23rd onward, we’re looking at small, ordinary surf. The 24th has a flash of glassy 4-foot waves in the morning, but the afternoon gets choppy. By the 25th, it’s down to under 3 feet, and the energy is weak (97-107). The 26th has a weird little 2-foot SSE groundswell with a very long 17-second period, but it’s just too small to do anything with at a sheltered beach break.

Then there’s a big gap. The 27th, 28th, and 29th are mostly poor, with the swell bouncing around 2 feet to 4 feet and weak energy. The 29th afternoon shows a little hope with a 6-foot SSE swell and a moderate offshore, but it’s not a standout. The 30th is a mixed bag – a 6-foot SSE swell in the morning but with cross-shore wind, and a 4-foot SSE swell in the afternoon with a 12-second period but again cross-shore. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

So, to wrap it up: your best bet is Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July. Monday morning is the pick of the bunch – 10-foot ESE swell, clean offshore wind, and good energy. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the competent surfer, it’s the best we’ve got. After that, the window closes pretty fast.

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.
