The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are basically flat with tiny, weak waves. The first bit of surf that’s even worth a look comes in on Thursday afternoon, but it’s still pretty ordinary.
The real window opens up on the weekend. Saturday morning the 1st of August has some size but the rain and a 15 mph cross-off wind make it messy. The clear winner is Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning, a solid 6ft SE groundswell with a long 14-second period is rolling in, packing a very strong combined energy of 1468. The wind is light offshore from the south at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. This is the best bet of the whole outlook. The afternoon holds up too, with 7ft SE swell and 13-second periods, still with light winds. That’s a lot of water moving, so it’s not for beginners. For the rest of you, it’s a go.
The surf drops off steadily after that Sunday. There are a few surfable days, but nothing with that same punch. Monday the 10th of August brings a small pulse: a glassy morning with 4ft ESE swell, 11-second periods, and moderate energy (525). That glassy wind is a huge plus, meaning clean, peeling waves. The days after that, the 12th and 13th, show some cleaner conditions, but the swell is smaller.
So, don’t bother with the early days. The one to circle is Sunday the 2nd. Water temp is 20°, which is normal for the season, so you’ll know your wetsuit.
Rusty out.

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.
