The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down in feet and Fahrenheit for ya.
The first few days at Turners Beach are a bust – flat and messy through Thursday the 3rd and into the weekend. Nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for until Monday, September 7th.
That Monday morning is the first real highlight. Clean waves about 4 to 5 feet from the SSE, and with the wind going dead flat – glassy – it’s gonna be picture perfect. Wave energy is solid (256). A great session for anyone looking to get a few clean ones.
Tuesday the 8th keeps the swell rolling. Morning brings a solid 7 to 8 foot S swell with a clean offshore breeze, and the energy jumps to strong (678). That’s a bit more size, but still good for a strong intermediate. The afternoon settles to a cleaner 6 to 7 foot SSE swell with a gentle offshore – that might actually be the cleaner window of the two.
The big one hits Thursday the 10th. Early morning sees a solid 10 foot SSE swell with offshore wind. That’s legit expert territory – over 8 feet – so don’t even think about it unless you’ve got the experience. Wave energy is very strong (957) and it’ll be clean.
Then Friday the 11th afternoon is the real gem. About 6 feet of SSE groundswell with a very long period – over 14 seconds – blown clean by a moderate offshore. The energy is massive (1126), so expect long, powerful lines. That kind of period is best suited to a reef or point, but it’ll be a beautiful session for those who know what they’re doing.
After that, the second week fades out with onshores and small dribble. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions from around the 12th onward, with only the odd knee-high wave.
Water temp is about 69°F, which is typical for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
So my top picks: Monday morning the 7th for the glassy, chest-to-shoulder-high SSE swell, and Friday afternoon the 11th for the long-period groundswell. That Friday session is the best of the whole outlook.

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.
