The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, it’s a pretty flat and quiet run for the most part. The water’s sitting where you’d expect for this time of year – nothing unusual in the temperature. Most days are offering small, weak waves with a combined energy that barely gets into the moderate range, often under 200. There’s a long gap of days with barely anything worth paddling out for, and the wind is often cross-onshore or just messy. The first real standout doesn’t show up until Monday, August 17th.

Monday morning, August 17th, is the best bet by a long shot. The wind goes glassy – absolute zero – which is a rare treat. You’re looking at a clean 5 ft swell from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 624, which is a solid moderate pulse. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s not huge, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be clean and fun. After that, Tuesday morning, August 18th, has a bigger 6 ft swell from the SSE with a longer 13-second period and combined energy hitting 1009, but the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’s not as clean and could be a bit tricky.

Before that, there’s a whole lot of nothing. From now right through to the end of the first week, the surf is small, often under 3 ft, with poor wind and low energy. Wednesday morning, August 5th, offers a tiny 2 ft ESE swell with a light cross-off breeze, but it’s very ordinary. The same goes for most mornings and afternoons – you’ll find clean conditions sometimes, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The period is often short, around 8–10 seconds, which doesn’t help.

Overall, the pick of the whole 16 days is that Monday, August 17th morning glass-off. If you can wait, that’s your window. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
