The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some decent swell on the horizon. The first real surfable days are this Sunday, August 2nd. The morning will see clean 5 ft surf from the southeast, with a light offshore breeze – that’s the kind of smooth face you dream about. The afternoon builds slightly to 5 ft, still with that clean cross-off wind, so you’ll be in for a good session. The combined wave energy is solid at 607 to 701, so there’s plenty of push behind these waves. The water is sitting about average for this time of year.
Then it gets a bit patchy. Monday morning, August 3rd, is still ridable but the wind swings a little cross-on, making things a bit bumpy. After that, we hit a dry spell from Tuesday through to Thursday the 6th – tiny, choppy, and not worth paddling out for. The swell drops right off, with energy barely hitting 140.
Friday the 7th picks up a little, with 4 ft to 4 ft from the SSE, clean in the morning and afternoon, but it’s just ordinary. Then Saturday, August 8th, is a real standout. The morning brings a clean 5 ft from the south with a light offshore, and the energy is back up to 605. The afternoon is even better for shape – 5 ft from the SSE with a gentle offshore breeze. That’s your best session of the first week, no doubt.
Sunday the 9th is still fun with 5 ft in the morning, clean, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit softer. After that, we’re into another quiet stretch from Monday the 10th to Thursday the 13th. Small, messy, or onshore – not worth rushing down for.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting for the brave. Friday, August 14th, the swell jumps big time. We’re looking at 8 ft in the morning, 10 ft in the afternoon from the SSE, with a fresh offshore wind. That’s expert territory. The energy is massive – 1471 to 1628. This is a solid groundswell with a 10-second period, but for a beach break like Turners, that kind of size and period can get a bit too straight and heavy. Definitely not for beginners. Still, if you’ve got the skills, it’s a raw, powerful day.
Saturday the 15th stays big, around 7 ft, still offshore, but with some light rain. The energy remains high at over 1000. Sunday the 16th settles back to a clean, fun 5 ft, with a moderate offshore, and that’s another good day to finish the run.
The crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so on the standout days, expect a few others out, but it’s not a zoo.
Overall, the best on offer is Saturday August 8th for the combo of size, clean wind, and good energy. For the big-wave crew, Friday August 14th is the one to circle, but it’s a heavy, expert-only day.
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.
