The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first few days, it’s a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a shoulder injury to start with, but the wait is on for a proper pulse of energy. The real action starts to build mid-week and then stacks up into a solid, hefty swell for the weekend.
Forget the tiny stuff. The standout is Monday, July 20th. The morning is the pick of the whole run. We’re looking at a solid 10 ft swell thumping in from the E, with a long 10-second period, packing a ton of energy. The wind is a moderate offshore from the SSE, which will keep the face clean. This is proper, powerful groundswell, and at that size, it’s for experienced surfers only. The offshore wind will make for some beautiful, lined-up waves, but the long period means it’ll be wedging up hard. Turners Beach is a sheltered spot, so it’ll handle this size well, but it won’t be one for the beginners. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The run-up to that is also worth a mention. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are pumping, but they come with a major caveat. We’re talking 11 ft to 13 ft of SE to ESE swell, with the energy going through the roof. That’s a lot of ocean moving. The wind is strong offshore, which is great for the wave face, but at that size, it’s going to be a real battle to get out and those waves will be heavy. Paddling into a 13 ft wave with a 10-second period and a strong offshore is a serious mission. It’s a proper big-wave session for the experts only.
Later in the week, things drop back down. By Wednesday the 22nd, we’re into a more manageable 5 ft to 6 ft range from the E, with light cross-offshore winds. It’s clean, but the energy is lower. It’s a good option for a more relaxed session, but nothing compared to the weekend.
The second week is quieter. There’s a little bump around the 25th and 26th of July with 8 ft to 5 ft swells, but the periods are short and the energy is modest. It’s surfable, but you’ll be hunting for a wave rather than picking them off from a lineup.
So, if you can handle the size, the absolute best is Monday, July 20th. The 13 ft stuff on the weekend is for the chargers only. Surf wise, the long period makes it better for a point break or reef, but Turners will still have some top-quality, powerful waves when the wind is off.
Rusty.

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.
