The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, we're looking at a bit of a slow start, but there's a couple of days that will get the stoke going. The water is sitting at a pretty average 68°F, which is bang on normal for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front.

The first real chance for a decent wave hits Friday morning, the 14th of August. The swell pushes up to 6ft from the south, with a 9-second period. That’s a moderate energy pulse (combined energy of 924), and with a light cross-off breeze, it’ll hold shape. This is the standout session of the whole period. The swell is a bit much for beginners, but for the rest of us, it’s the best on offer.

Saturday morning the 15th is okay, with 4ft from the SSE and clean offshore wind, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit crumbly. By Saturday afternoon, the swell drops right off and a super long-period 20-second swell rolls in at just 0.7ft – that’s a weird one, weak energy (67), and a total non-event.

Sunday the 16th brings a bit more size back, 6ft from the SSE in the morning, but again with a short period (7 seconds). It’s clean with offshore wind, so you can get some, but it won’t be the greatest quality.

The middle of the next week, from Monday the 17th through to Wednesday the 19th, gets messy with rain showers and cross-off winds. Swell sits around 6ft to 4ft, but the conditions are marginal – surfable but nothing to get excited about.

From Thursday the 20th through to Tuesday the 25th, the waves are small and mostly weak, with combined energy values dropping under 300. The standout moment here is Friday morning the 21st of August – glassy conditions with a 3ft swell from the ENE. It’s small, but if you’ve got a log, it’ll be fun.

Then we hit a bit of a flat patch from Saturday the 22nd until Wednesday the 26th, with very small swell and onshore or cross-shore winds making for poor quality. Not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate.

Things perk up on Thursday the 27th of August with a 4ft to 5ft SSE swell, but the wind is strong – 22 mph from the south – so it’s going to be a battle. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Finally, on Friday the 28th of August, we get a long-period (14 seconds) groundswell coming from the SSE, with 3ft to 5ft. The energy is solid (457–739), and the wind is strong offshore. But with 25 mph gusts, it’s going to be clean but very hard to paddle into. Only for the experts.

Overall, Friday the 14th of August is the real standout. Get on it if you can.

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.
