The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s see what waves are cooking for Turimetta Beach over the next couple weeks.
We’re starting off with a slow burn. The first few days are pretty ordinary – poor surf and the wind’s all wrong. But hang tight, there’s a session worth setting the alarm for. Water temp is around 64°F, which is just a hair cooler than normal for this time of year. Nothing wild.
The real standout is Friday morning, September 18th. A solid south swell pushing about 5 feet, period of 9 seconds, and a light northerly wind that’s cross-offshore – that’ll keep the faces clean. The combined energy is moderate at 497. The optimum swell here is from the ESE, but the south groundswell will wrap in nicely on this beach and reef setup. For intermediate surfers, this is the best wave in the whole forecast. Crowds are listed as sometimes, so expect a few locals out. It’s a proper go.
Saturday morning the 19th is glassy with a light westerly, but the swell drops to around 3 feet. Clean but tiny. Fun on the right board.
After that, we’ve got a long stretch of dud days. From Sunday the 20th right through to the 30th, it’s mostly small, onshore, and messy. Tuesday the 22nd has some size – nearly 8 feet – but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy, a total write-off. Wednesday the 23rd offers a 6-foot south-southeast swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and messy.
The second week is rough. Saturday the 26th shows swell around 6 feet, but it’s east-northeast wind and periods drop to 8 seconds. Combined energy reaches 711, so there’s power, but the wind is cross-onshore and there are storms around. Not the day.
Sunday the 27th and beyond is all onshore drift and lumpy conditions. Most days are just poor. For beginners, anything over 5 feet is intimidating anyway, and the quality is bad. For experts, there’s no window with good wind after that Friday morning. The bigger swells with poor winds and a beach setup might get the kite surfers excited, but not the paddle crew.
To keep it simple: Friday morning, September 18th, is your day. Clean, 5-foot south swell, light offshore wind. After that, there’s about ten days of nothing worth chasing. Be ready on that Friday.
Rusty.

Information about the Turimetta Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Turimetta Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Turimetta Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Turimetta Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Turimetta Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
