Turners Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. We've only got one spot lighting up the board for this entire sixteen-day stretch, and it's Turners Beach. So, it's all about Turners Beach, or nothing at all. Let's see what that means.

The forecast is a bit of a tale of two halves. There's a solid run of swell coming in, but the wind is going to be the big talking point, and that's what's going to make or break your sessions.

We kick off on Sunday the 5th of July with some small 2ft SSE swell, but the wind is messy. Don't even bother, it's going to be a write-off.

Then things get interesting. From Monday the 6th, the ocean wakes up. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the SSE with a moderate energy reading (1579). Monday morning looks like a serious standout. The wind is blowing straight offshore out of the south at 15 mph, which is going to groom that 10ft swell into some clean, punchy lines. That's proper surf, and the early session is the pick of the day. The water temp is sitting at 70° which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Monday afternoon stays big at 12ft and offshore, but the wind picks up a notch, making it a bit more challenging. The size stays through Tuesday, with SW winds swinging cross-off on the morning and offshore again in the afternoon. The wave energy climbs right up into the 2000 and 2900 range, so there's plenty of power in the water. This is serious, chunky stuff for experienced surfers only. If you're a beginner, this is a hard pass – anything over 8ft is expert territory.

Wednesday the 8th is another absolute gem. The swell holds at 10ft from the SE, the wind is clean and offshore at 12 mph, and the energy is still pumping at 2348. This is a top-tier session for the crew who can handle it.

After that, the swell slowly backs off. Thursday the 9th still has 8ft with clean offshore winds, and Friday the 10th drops to 6ft from the SE with light winds. Both are good, fun days.

Then the wheels fall off. From the 11th of July, the wind turns onshore and stays that way for a long stretch. We get a nasty run of cross-on and onshore breezes for the entire second week. The swell is still around, but the quality is gone. The surf gets lumpy and choppy. It’s not a good look.

There is one last gasp. On the 16th of July, the wind swings back to a clean cross-off, and the swell pumps back up to 10ft from the south with a massive energy reading (2578). That Thursday morning is your late-breaking standout in the long-range. It's a promising one, but that's a way off, so don't bank on it yet. The following days up to the 20th look blown out again with onshore winds, so that Thursday is your only real window in the second half.

So, the bottom line: the first three days, from Monday the 6th to Wednesday the 8th, are your absolute best bet for some epic, offshore, powerful waves. After that, you're on a long break of average to poor conditions until that potential window on the 16th. Keep an eye on it, but treat the long-range as a hopeful maybe.

Rusty, signing off.
