Surf forecast Turtles - WA: swell, wind and tide

Turtles - WA Surf Forecast Guide

Turtles is a reef break in Western Australia that offers two contrasting waves: a quality, barrelling left and a more fickle right. Both break over shallow, sharp reef, so it suits confident surfers who know the setup.

When It Works

The break draws swell from south through west, with southwest (SW) swell the best match. It works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft and is consistent, so waves show up reliably when the swell lines up.

Wind and Tide

Look for east (E) offshore wind. Turtles can work through low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

This is an expert-only wave, breaking over dead coral, and only those who know what they're doing should make the trip. The lineup usually stays fairly quiet.

Access

Turtles sits further south and is walk-in only, with no 4WD access. Camping is prohibited, so plan on hiking in and out on foot.
