The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are a write-off with weak, messy little waves and poor conditions. Don’t even bother paddling out Wednesday or Thursday this week – it’s a total washout. We’ve got a gap of about 4 days with nothing worth mentioning.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday afternoon, the 24th of July. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the SSE, and we get a nice offshore wind. That’s clean, and the energy is moderate (486). It’s not a monster, but it’s a start. Saturday morning the 25th has a bigger 6ft SSE swell, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s a bit of a letdown. The energy is getting strong though (1222), so there’s power in the water.
Now, the standout. You want to circle Thursday the 30th of July. This is the one. The swell cranks up to 12ft from the SSE, with a gentle offshore wind. The wave energy is massive (2535). That’s serious, powerful groundswell, and it’s going to be clean. This is expert territory only – over 8ft is no joke. If you’re not experienced, sit this one out on the beach. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Friday the 31st of July morning is still pumping with an 8ft SSE swell, clean and powerful (1065). That’s still a big day for strong surfers. After that, the swell slowly backs off through the weekend and into the next week, but the conditions get messy again with onshore winds.
Looking further out, Thursday the 6th of August shows a pulse of 7ft SSE swell, clean, with good energy (1412). That’s a promising one, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
So, best on offer is Thursday the 30th of July for the experienced crew, and the 6th of August for a promising long-range option. Keep your expectations low for the rest.
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.
