The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the cards for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks. The surf is going to be there, but you’ll have to pick your moments for the clean stuff.
It’s a slow start to the fortnight. The early part is pretty weak, but hang tight because the good juice arrives later. For the first few days, the swell is small and the conditions are just ordinary. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July offer waves you can paddle out on, but nothing to write home about. The real story picks up from Saturday the 1st of August onwards.
The standout period is definitely the first weekend of August. Saturday the 1st is looking like the best day of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 8 ft swell wrapping in from the SSE with a moderate offshore wind (12 mph), which will keep the faces clean. The wave energy is massive (2859), so this is only for experienced surfers; beginners will find it too big. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
The week before that, there’s a pulse of bigger, longer-period groundswell that shows up on Saturday the 25th of July, with a 14-second period from the SSE and light winds. The wave energy is strong (1080), but the condition is questionable with a light cross-onshore breeze, and a long-period swell like that can make a beach break like Turners a bit straight. It’s worth a look but not the top pick.
Into the following week, Sunday the 2nd of August keeps some size at 6-6 ft with clean conditions and offshore winds, a good follow-up session. Thursday the 6th of August brings another big pulse of 10-12 ft swell with offshore winds, but that’s only for the crew with big-wave experience.
All in all, the best bet is Saturday the 1st of August. If you miss that, the following Sunday and Thursday have some solid, clean options too. For the rest of the time, it’s mostly small and ordinary.
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.
