The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch for Turners Beach in feet and miles per hour.

First decent surf hits Friday, July 31st in the afternoon. A south-southeast swell a hair under 5 ft (1.4m) with a 9-second period. Wind is blowing offshore from the south at 15 mph, so it’s clean. The combined energy is moderate at 466. Water temp is about 68°F, which is normal for this time of year.

Saturday, August 1st starts drizzly with a cross-off wind, but the afternoon cleans up nicely. Swell jumps to about 6 ft (1.8m) from the SSE, period 10 seconds, and energy at 627. Offshore wind makes it a real treat. Sunday, August 2nd is the main event. Morning has a 5 ft (1.4m) SE swell with offshore breeze, then the afternoon serves up a 5 ft (1.6m) SE swell, 10-second period, and a light offshore breeze. Energy hits 710. That’s the cleanest, most consistent session of the whole forecast.

Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are junk. Wind turns cross-on, swell drops to 2 ft (0.7m) and then 2 ft (0.5m) by Tuesday arvo. Not worth a look.

From Wednesday the 5th through Thursday the 6th, it’s small but surfable. Waves around 2 ft to 3 ft, energy under 300. Thursday morning goes glassy with a 2 ft (0.6m) SSE swell and an 11-second period – long period for that size, might give a little shape.

Friday, August 7th morning is another good one. 5 ft (1.4m) S swell, 9-second period, offshore SSE wind, energy 502. Clean. But the true standout remains Sunday, August 2nd afternoon – that 5 ft (1.6m) SE swell with 10-second period, light offshore breeze, and 710 energy. That’s your session.

The second week is quiet. From Saturday the 8th onward, it’s mostly small and choppy. Swells generally 2 to 4 ft, wind onshore or cross-on. There’s a moment on Thursday, August 13th morning with a 4 ft (1.2m) NNE swell and cross-off wind, but the period is short at 7 seconds – not much push. Friday the 14th morning has a glassy 3 ft (1.0m) S swell, but it’s nothing special. The last few days are tiny, with energy in the 60s.

Turners Beach is a consistent spot, so it’s no shock we’ve got a few good days. The best is Sunday, August 2nd afternoon. Crowds are possible, but with that glassy clean surf, it’s worth it. Beginners are fine as the swell stays under 5 ft for the good sessions. Skip the second week unless you’re just keen for a float.

Rusty, out.

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.
