The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the cards for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some small, clean waves to start, but the real story builds through the middle of the week and into next week, with a proper pulse of groundswell showing up around the 18th and 19th that looks promising.
Let’s get into the details.
Monday morning (7th September) kicks off with some decent swell. We’re looking at 6ft from the SSE, which is a solid size. It’s clean and the combined energy is moderate (557). This is a good start to the week for a paddle.
The action really picks up on Tuesday afternoon (8th September) . The swell is pushing 8ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore, keeping things clean, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (608). This is a good window for a surfer who can handle a bit of power.
By Thursday morning (10th September) , the swell jumps up to 12ft from the SSE. That’s serious size – solidly in the zone for experienced surfers only. The combined energy is strong (1939) and it’s offshore, so it’ll be clean but pushing hard. The wind on Thursday afternoon is a fresh 19 mph from the SSE, which is still offshore but will make it a battle to get out.
Then we settle into a solid run from Friday (11th) through to Saturday (12th) . Swell stays around 7ft to 8ft from the SSE, with clean conditions and offshore or cross-off winds. Combined energy is moderate to strong (745 to 1022), so there’s plenty of push. These are the best consistently good days of the first week for a surfer looking for size and clean faces.
We get a brief, excellent window on Sunday morning (13th September) . Swell drops to 5ft from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy (3 mph from the East). That is a beautiful, clean, small-wave session.
The middle of the next week (14th to 17th) goes quiet. The swell drops way down (under 3ft), the periods get longer but the wind is messy, and the combined energy is weak (under 354). It’s a bit of a dead zone for a few days.
Hang on tight, because Friday the 18th looks like the standout. We’re looking at a 16ft swell from the South, with a period of 13 seconds. That is a proper, long-period groundswell. The combined energy is exceptional (11,935). The wind is offshore from the SE, so it will be clean for those who can handle it. This is an expert-only day. It’s going to be big, powerful, and very clean. Best on offer for the whole period.
Following that, Saturday morning, 19th September still has 10ft swell from the SSE, with glassy winds. Another excellent day for experienced surfers.
And wrapping up the period, Sunday morning, 20th September brings 6ft from the SE with a very long period of 14 seconds and glassy conditions. That will be a beautiful, clean, long-period groundswell for a surfer who can read it.
Best standouts: For sheer size and clean power, Friday morning, 18th September, and for a classic, clean, long-period session, Sunday morning, 20th September. Get on it if you can handle the juice.

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.
