The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and let's have a look at what's cooking.
Straight up, we've got a long dry spell ahead at Turners Beach. For the first week, it's pretty much a flat, blown-out mess. There's nothing worthwhile until we hit Thursday, August 13th, which is over a week away. So just over a week of nada, nothing, zilch. It's a real test of patience.
Now, from Thursday the 13th, the whole game changes. A solid pulse of southerly groundswell kicks in, and it's game on. The wave energy jumps right up into four digits (1233), and we're looking at a clean 6.6 ft swell from the S. The water temp is sitting around 68.0°F, which is pretty much normal for the time of year, so no shock to the system there. This is the pick of the whole forecast, no question. The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions," and you can trust that. It's a bit strong for beginners at that size, but for the rest of us, get ready.
There's another standout late in the run. Looking at Wednesday the 19th, we get another real winner. An 8.2 ft swell from the SSE, combined with a long period of 9 to 10 seconds, and light, cross-offshore winds. The wave energy is huge again (1108), and the forecast is "very good surf conditions." This one is solid, and the period is long enough to have some real grunt and shape. It's gonna be a great day for a proper point break or reef. Expect a crowd, though, because a run this clean with that much power doesn't come around often around here.
That stretch from the 13th to the 19th is where it's at. Thursday the 13th is the big winner. Everything else is just waiting for the ocean to wake up.

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.
