The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the cards for Turimetta over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start with some ordinary conditions, but there’s some real firepower building for later in the period. Let’s break it down.

The first few days are pretty average. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th have some lumpy, poor surf on offer – swell around 3 ft to 6 ft, but the wind’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s all messy. The wave energy is moderate at best, topping out at 415 on Sunday morning, but it’s just not clean. Tuesday the 18th is more of the same, small and onshore. Not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday morning the 19th is where things start to look up. There’s a glassy patch early – dead calm, wind state “Calm” – with 4 ft swell from the ESE, but the period is short at 6 seconds. The energy is moderate at 202, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s a small, clean window, but with that short period, the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly. Still, if you’ve got a log, it could be a fun little session.

Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are ordinary again – small, choppy, nothing special. Saturday the 22nd is a write-off. There’s a gap of a few days with nothing worth your time.

Now, the real standout is Sunday the 23rd. This is the one to circle on your calendar. A solid 10 ft swell from the S, with a period of 9 seconds, rolls in for the morning. The wave energy is ripping at 2743 – that’s strong to very strong. The wind is light offshore from the NW (5 mph), so it’ll be clean, and the guidance says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is big – over 8 ft – so it’s only for experts. The swell direction (S) is offshore-friendly for Turimetta (exposed to ESE, but S swell wraps in nicely). Crowds are possible at times, so get in early. This is the best on offer.

Monday the 24th has a drop-off but still clean with offshore wind (NW, 10 mph) and 5 ft swell from the S, energy at 362. Good, but a step down. Tuesday the 25th is another beauty – 6 ft S swell, period 8 seconds, and a moderate westerly offshore (16 mph) in the afternoon keeping things clean. Energy is 537. Solid intermediate session.

Wednesday the 26th through Friday the 28th get a bit more tricky. The swell stays around 4 ft to 6 ft from the S and SSE, but the wind picks up to 19 mph from the WSW, making it cross-offshore and clean but strong. The energy is high (856 on Wednesday morning), and the period stretches to 12 seconds, which is long period groundswell. That kind of period can make beach breaks a bit straight, but Turimetta is a beach and reef setup, so it might handle it okay. The forecast says “marginal” though, so conditions might be a fight.

Saturday the 29th brings a change – 5 ft NE swell with a short 7-second period. The wind is light cross-off from the W, so it’s clean, and the energy is strong at 501. Could be a fun little burst, but the short period means less shape.

After that, the last few days of August and into the 31st fade out – small, onshore, not much to get excited about.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

To be honest, that Sunday the 23rd morning is your best bet – big, heavy, clean, and only for the brave. Tuesday the 25th is a solid runner-up. Everything else is pretty small or messy.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Turimetta Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 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. 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.
