Turners Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Turners Beach.

We’re heading into a patchy stretch, mate. The first few days are pretty grim, with nothing really worth paddling out for until the end of the week. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

It’s a slow start. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are a write-off—poor surf, messy cross-onshore winds, and weak, short-period junk. Not worth a second look.

Thursday the 27th morning, we finally see a flicker of life. The wind swings offshore from the south at 12 mph, and we get a clean 3ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 94, so it’s small and average, but at least it’s clean. It’s surfable but ordinary. Thursday afternoon picks up a touch with a 4ft SSE swell and clean conditions, energy bumping to 275, but still nothing to write home about.

Friday the 28th morning is the first real highlight. Glassy conditions, a clean 3ft SSE groundswell with a 9-second period, and combined energy of 284. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly wave. This is the best on offer in the first week. If you’re free, that’s your window for a mellow session.

Saturday the 29th afternoon gets interesting. A solid 5ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and moderate offshore wind from the SSE at 16 mph. Combined energy is a strong 559. This is good surf, but that size is starting to push it for beginners. The wind is offshore and clean, so for the intermediate crew, this is a standout session.

Sunday the 30th afternoon is similar—5ft SSE, offshore wind, energy at 499. Good surf again, but the same size caveat applies.

Now, Monday the 31st morning is a sneaky gem. A 3ft SSE groundswell but with a very long 18-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 965. That kind of period means it’s a proper groundswell with heaps of push for its size. Offshore wind from the SSE at 9 mph. This wave will hold up well on the point or reef, but at a beach break, that long period might make it a bit too straight. Still, for the experienced surfer, this is a quality, clean session.

After that, it drops right off. From Tuesday the 1st of September onward, we’ve got a long gap of poor to ordinary conditions, with small swell and choppy onshore winds. Nothing worth chasing until maybe Sunday the 7th of September afternoon, when a 5ft SE swell with glassy conditions and energy of 548 pops up. That’s promising but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

If you’re looking for the best of the bunch, Friday the 28th morning is the pick for a relaxed, clean small-wave day. For something with more punch and clean offshore wind, Saturday the 29th afternoon is your standout.

Rusty.
