Turners Wall is a surf spot located at the mouth of the Clarence River. It’s known for being a go-to place for both locals and holidaymakers, especially during peak seasons. The vibe here can get a bit crowded due to the nearby campsites, so be ready to share the waves with a mix of surfers.
The waves at Turners Wall are mostly lefts, and when conditions are right, they can be fast, hollow, and punchy. It's a decent spot for beginners as it can handle swell sizes down to about 1 ft (0.3 m). The optimal swell direction is from the east, but it also works with northeast and south swells. The waves break over sand, making it a little more forgiving for those just starting out. If you’re planning to surf, the best wind direction is from the northwest, and it can work well at low, mid, and high tides.
This spot offers a mix of peaks, with some additional waves in the middle, as well as a right-hander at the southern end. It’s good to know where the best waves are and how to read the conditions. Just keep in mind that due to its popularity, you might find yourself competing for space in the water, especially during weekends and holidays.
