The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the skinny on the local bank. We're in a waiting pattern for a good stretch, but the end of this forecast has a proper payoff if you've got the patience.
There's nothing worth paddling for right now. The first decent chance is on Sunday, August 2nd. Turners Beach has a clean 5ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period, giving us moderate energy (701). Water temp is about 68°, which is normal for this time of year. A light cross-offshore breeze in the morning will keep the surface clean, making it a fun wave for beginners.
Then it goes flat again. From Monday, August 3rd, right through to Sunday, August 9th, it’s a real grind. Mostly small, onshore junk. Tuesday the 4th sees a tiny 1ft cross-on shore break with hardly any energy (80). It's a long drought for any real quality.
We get a little pulse back around Monday, August 10th and Tuesday the 11th, but it’s only small and ordinary, 2ft to 3ft stuff. Tuesday morning the 11th does go glassy on a tiny east swell – fine for a quiet session, but no power.
Now for the real deal. Sunday, August 16th things start shifting. The afternoon has a long period 14-second groundswell from the SSE at 2ft, but the energy is already solid (487). The wind goes offshore, cleaning it up. That long period brings better shape and more punch. The absolute highlight lands on Monday, August 17th. The morning delivers a 3ft SSE groundswell with a 13-second period and very strong energy (756), with clean cross-offshore wind. But the standout of the whole run is Monday afternoon: a 5ft SSE swell with a very long 16-second period and the combined energy is absolutely pumping (1090). The wind is a light offshore out of the SE, meaning glassy, clean conditions. That 5ft with that period will produce some serious runners. It's a quality option for experienced surfers, but watch out – at a beach break, these long period swells can close out and be tricky. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might not be alone out there when the sets fire.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
