The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, we've got a bit of a slow burner on our hands for the next 16 days. The first few days are pretty ordinary, but there's a big pulse of swell building that’ll get the blood pumping if you're an experienced surfer. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The main event is Turimetta Beach, a beach and reef setup that's fairly consistent. It's been a quiet start with nothing worth paddling out for until Thursday afternoon, but that's just the calm before the storm.
Alright, let's get into it. Thursday morning the 23rd is a write-off. We've got a weak 3-foot swell from the ENE with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 127. It's surfable, but cross-off winds from the west at 9 mph are making it messy. Thursday afternoon is even worse with poor conditions.
Friday morning the 24th though, that's where it starts to kick off. We're looking at a solid 7-foot south swell, 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1331 – that's some moderate-to-strong energy. The wind is a cross-off from the southwest at 9 mph, keeping it clean. This is excellent surf, but at 7 feet, it's pushing into the "too big for beginners" zone. It's a standout for the experienced crew.
Saturday morning the 25th holds that energy. It's a 6-foot south swell with an 11-second period, giving it that bit of extra grunt and shape. The combined energy is 707. The real gem here is the wind: a clean offshore from the west at 9 mph. That's going to peel those lines open. Saturday afternoon goes glassy with a 4-foot south swell and a light NNE breeze at 3 mph – perfect for a lazy session.
Sunday morning the 26th is a repeat of the same good energy: 6-foot south swell, 11-second period, 707 energy, and cross-off westerlies. It's another solid day. But by Sunday afternoon, the onshore breeze kicks in and the quality drops.
We then hit a flat spell from Monday the 27th through to Wednesday the 29th. The swell drops right off, with tiny waves and poor conditions. Wednesday morning has a weird 0.7-foot swell with a 19-second period – that's a very long period groundswell, but it's just too small to do anything with.
Now, here's the big one. Thursday morning the 30th. The forecast shows a 10-foot south swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a massive 1535. This is heavy, powerful stuff. The wind is a gentle offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, keeping it clean. This is an excellent surf day for experts only. At 10 feet, it's too big for anyone who isn't comfortable with a serious beating. Thursday afternoon gets even bigger at 13 feet, but the wind swings and the conditions get more marginal.
Friday the 31st is a write-off. Strong cross-shore winds from the south at 22 mph with heavy rain. The swell is still 10 feet on the morning, but with that wind, it's going to be a washing machine. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The swell slowly drops through the first week of August. Saturday the 1st is a last chance for the experienced crew with a 7-foot SSE swell, but the wind is cross-off, so it's still rideable. The rest of the period into the second week is a slow fade. The swell drops to 4 feet and below, with periods getting shorter and the wind often messy. Sunday the 2nd has a 4-foot SSE swell, but it's small and the wind is messy. The following days are full of small, weak waves and poor conditions.
So, the clear standout is Thursday morning the 30th of July at Turimetta Beach. A big 10-foot south swell with clean offshore winds. That's the one to circle on the calendar, but it's for the big dogs only. Friday morning the 24th is also a great call for the intermediate crew looking for a proper 7-foot wave. The rest of the window is pretty average.
Stay safe out there, and don't get caught inside on that 30th.
Rusty.

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 Turimetta 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.
