Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Turimetta Beach.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 63°F which is about 1°F cooler than usual for this time of year – just a touch on the fresh side, so you’ll want that spring suit.

Honestly, the next few days are pretty flat and average. Friday morning (7th August) you’ve got tiny 2ft surf from the south with a 9-second period and light offshore wind, but the wave energy is weak (119). It’s clean but very ordinary. The afternoon turns to junk with an onshore breeze. Saturday morning (8th) is similar – 2ft, weak energy (111), and a cross-off breeze that keeps it clean, but it’s still small and uninspiring.

Things start to look a bit more promising by Sunday morning (9th August). Swell pushes up to 4ft from the east-northeast with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to moderate (228). A light cross-off breeze from the north-northwest should keep it pretty clean. This is the first real chance for a few fun ones, but it’s not a standout.

Monday morning (10th) brings a solid 5ft from the east-northeast, same period, and the energy is now strong (303). A fresh offshore from the northwest will groom it nicely – clean faces. But the score suggests it’s marginal, so don’t expect perfection. Tuesday (11th) drops back to small 2ft, though the period stretches to 12 seconds, giving it some groundswell push (139 energy). Morning is clean with a light cross-off, but it’s tiny.

Now, here’s the real standout. The morning of Thursday 13th August is flat, but the afternoon brings a massive jump – 10ft from the south with a 12-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell, and the energy reading is a massive 1892 – very strong. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the west-southwest, so it’ll be clean. However, this is a beach and reef setup, and a long period south swell at 10ft is going to be heavy and powerful. This is strictly for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay well clear. Friday morning (14th) is still pumping with 8ft from the south, 12 seconds, and 2011 energy – another day for the crew who know what they’re doing. The wind stays cross-off, keeping it clean.

After that, the swell backs off through the weekend and into the next week, with mostly poor conditions, messy wind, and small surf. The 20th of August (Thursday) sees a building east-northeast swell to 6ft (606 energy) but with a choppy onshore wind – not great.

Then, on Friday 21st August morning, we’ve got a beauty lined up: 7ft from the east-northeast with a 13-second period, and the energy is a strong 1398. A light offshore from the north-northwest will keep it glassy. This is for the experienced surfer, but it’s clean, powerful, and has proper shape. That’s your best bet in the whole outlook. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.

Saturday 22nd August morning is back to 10ft from the south, but with a short 9-second period and a cross-shore wind – still big, but less refined.

So, if you’re looking for the pick of the fortnight, circle Friday 21st August morning. The Thursday 13th and Friday 14th are huge but for experts only. The rest of the time is small, average, or blown out.

Rusty.
