Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Turimetta Beach.

The overall pattern over the next couple of weeks has a bit of a slow start, but there are a couple of proper windows where it’ll all come together. The first solid run of surf kicks off Sunday the 23rd, but the real standout mornings are where the wind plays ball. For the first week, keep your eye on Thursday the 28th and Monday the 31st – those two mornings are the clear highlights. After that, the second week holds a few more clean sessions, though the swell drops off.

Starting with Sunday morning the 23rd: there’s some cloud cover but the wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph, and we’ve got a 5 ft south swell pushing through with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 374. The water temp anomaly is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. It’s a glassy start, so the surf should be clean and fun for an intermediate. The break itself is a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, exposed to the swell and it likes it from the ESE. Crowds can be around sometimes, so you might have some company.

Monday morning the 24th is cleaner again with a north wind at 6 mph cross-off, but the swell has dropped to 3 ft south, period 10 seconds. Energy is lower at 214. It’s surfable but nothing special.

Tuesday the 25th morning is a bit marginal with a 4 ft NE swell at a short 6-second period, energy 295 – that short period won’t give you much push. The afternoon cleans up with a light north wind, same size, period 7 seconds, but it’s still a bit junky.

Wednesday the 26th morning has light rain and a 4 ft NE swell at 8 seconds, energy only 140. Very ordinary. Afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-onshore.

Now, Thursday the 27th morning is a beauty: glassy again with an ESE wind at 3 mph, 5 ft south swell, 10-second period, energy 445. Clean conditions, good surf. This is one to pencil in.

Friday the 28th morning is the first true standout. Clear skies, a light west wind at 3 mph cross-off, 5 ft south swell with an 11-second period, and energy jumps to 630. That’s a solid, moderate-to-strong energy push. The wind keeps it clean, and with that period, you’ll get proper shaped waves. This is for intermediates and above – the size is on the edge for beginners but manageable if you’re confident.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th mornings are a write-off – poor conditions, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and dropping swell.

Monday the 31st morning is the absolute standout of the whole period. Clear, north wind at 3 mph cross-off, 4 ft south swell but check the period: 18 seconds – that’s very long-period groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 1177, strong to very strong. That long period will wrap in nicely at a reef and beach setup like this, but it’ll break a bit straight on the beach – best to look for the banks. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. If you can handle the size and the lulls between sets, it’ll be worth it.

Tuesday the 1st of September morning keeps it going with a clean offshore WNW wind at 9 mph, 4 ft south swell at 13 seconds, energy 449. Another good session for the experienced crew.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd see the swell drop right away – 2 ft and 2 ft, ordinary.

Then Friday the 4th morning brings a new pulse: 5 ft south swell at 11 seconds, energy 696, with a light WSW cross-off wind. That’s another very good option, but it’s a morning-only call before the onshore hits.

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th have some cleaner windows but the swell is smaller – 5 ft and 3 ft respectively. The 6th has offshore winds both morning and afternoon, so it’ll be clean but not huge.

The last call on Monday the 7th is glassy with a tiny 2 ft south swell – just a surfable leftover.

So, in short: hit Friday the 28th morning for solid, clean waves, and if you’re up for a real groundswell session, Monday the 31st morning is the one to circle. After that, it’s smaller but still clean into early September.
