The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Turners Beach are looking pretty lackluster. We've got a long stretch of small, weak surf and not much push behind it. It’s one of those times where you might be better off checking the tide pools or fixing a leash, because the ocean isn't giving us much to work with.

For the first week, from Wednesday the 5th through to Tuesday the 11th, conditions remain poor. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, and the energy in the water is weak too. We’re seeing two-digit readings, like 82 or 128, which confirms there’s just not much power in the waves. The lack of any decent period and size means it’s not really worth paddling out. There are a few windows where the wind is offshore and the surface is clean, like Thursday afternoon with that S wind, but even then the swell is too pathetic to get excited about. It’s just frustrating.

We finally see a little bump on Saturday the 8th afternoon. The swell pushes to a clean 3ft from the E, with a 9-second period, and the energy kicks up to a moderate 198 (moderate wave energy). The offshore wind from the SE is a huge positive, and it looks clean. This is probably the most surfable window in that first stretch, but it's still just ordinary. Then the wind turns on Sunday the 9th, with a fresh NNE breeze up to 25 km/h, making a mess of the 4ft swell. That one's a write-off.

There’s another interesting blip on the morning of Wednesday the 13th. The swell jumps to 5ft, but the period drops right off to 7 seconds, and the energy kicks up to a strong 468 (strong wave energy). This looks like a wind-swell spike with no shape. For a beginner spot like this, that size might be intimidating, and the short period is going to make it messy and challenging. After that, we're back into the doldrums.

The second week, from the 14th through to the 20th, remains poor. We see the same story, with small, weak swells and the only highlight being on Monday the 17th afternoon, where a 2ft E swell with a 10-second period and offshore winds might give you a few closeouts. But honestly, it’s all very average.

There is one small window on the morning of Monday the 19th. The wind goes glassy with a light W breeze, and the swell is 3ft from the ESE with a decent 10-second period and the energy gets up to a moderate 227 (moderate wave energy). That could offer a clean, if not small, wave for the dedicated. But the size is still a huge limiting factor.

Overall, the standout period, if you can call it that, is the Saturday afternoon the 8th and the Monday morning the 19th. On the 8th, you have a bit more size and clean conditions. The 19th offers the cleanest surface, but it's smaller. Don't expect any barrels or big days; this is a real patience test. The long-range stuff is far from certain, but the short-term forecast doesn't give us much hope either.

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.
