The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a slow start for Turners Beach, but there’s a real window of clean waves coming up. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Wednesday the 29th barely has a ripple worth paddling for, with a tiny 2ft swell from the east and a cross-onshore breeze making it choppy and messy. Thursday the 30th stays small, but the good news is we finally see some clean conditions. By Thursday afternoon, a 4ft southerly swell is pushing in with a gentle offshore wind, and the combined energy is moderate at 207 — it’s not special, but it’s clean and rideable for a beginner.
Friday the 31st keeps improving. The morning looks average, but Friday afternoon is the first real highlight. You’ve got a 4ft south swell, clean with a moderate offshore breeze, and the combined energy jumps to 466 (moderate). It’s solid, consistent, and the kind of session that’ll have you grinning.
But the standout is Saturday the 1st of August. Saturday morning sees a 6ft SSE swell rolling in with a light offshore breeze from the southeast. The combined energy hits 1290 (strong) — that’s proper push. The period is 11 seconds, so it’s a nice groundswell, and the direction matches the optimum (SE) for this sheltered spot. It’s going to be clean, powerful, and well-shaped. If you’re a beginner, this might be a bit too big at 6ft, but for everyone else, it’s the best on offer. Just be aware, crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so get in early.
Sunday the 2nd of August is still very good. The morning is glassy with a 5ft SE swell and combined energy of 603 (moderate) — that’s clean, smooth, and really fun. The afternoon stays clean with a 4ft SSE swell.
After that, things drop off again. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are back to small, messy, and not worth the drive. There’s a gap of poor or marginal surf until the morning of Friday the 7th of August, when a 6ft SSE swell returns with gentle offshore winds and combined energy of 678 (moderate). Saturday the 8th of August offers similar clean conditions, with 5–6ft swells and light offshores.
The second week gets a bit lumpy. Sunday the 9th is okay but not magic. From Monday the 10th, the wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, and the quality drops. By Thursday the 13th of August, we’ve got a big 12ft SSE swell, but with a strong cross-onshore wind and combined energy of 2610 (very strong) — that’s heavy, messy, and really only for the experienced crew. Even then, the wind will chop it up.
So, bottom line: if you want the best, get out there Saturday morning the 1st of August. That’s the call.
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.
