The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. This 16-day stretch for Turimetta Beach is a real mixed bag, and if you’re keen, you’re going to have to pick your moments. The opening days are pretty slim, so don’t get too excited just yet. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands before anything really gets going, but when it does, there’s a window or two that’ll be worth your while.
Right off the bat, Wednesday morning the 19th is looking like the best early call. We’ve got a small 2ft ESE groundswell rolling in with a 10-second period. The wind is glassy, and the water’s sitting at 63°, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be clean and rideable. The energy is weak though, so it’s more about the calm conditions than any real power. After that, the rest of that week and into the weekend is pretty ordinary. Thursday and Friday have some small waves, but they’re gutless and the winds are all over the shop. Saturday the 22nd is a write-off, with next to nothing. We’ve got a few days of small, messy surf to get through, so maybe use the time to sort your gear.
The first real sign of life comes on Tuesday the 25th. There’s a push of swell, but it’s a bit raw and the conditions aren’t quite there. It’s more of a heads-up than a green light. Then, the standout window arrives on Thursday the 27th. This is the one. We’re looking at a solid 10ft S groundswell with a 10-second period in the morning. The wind is light cross-off, and the energy is strong. This is for experienced surfers only, way too big for the beginners, and the break is fairly consistent so it should be firing. The afternoon drops to 8ft but the east wind comes up and makes it choppy, so the morning is your shot. Friday the 28th is also a good one, with a cleaner 5ft SSE swell and light offshore winds in the morning and glassy conditions in the afternoon. The energy is moderate, so it’ll be a much more manageable wave than Thursday, but still with good shape. That’s your pick of the first week.
The second week starts to get more promising but also less certain. Saturday the 29th starts okay but gets blown out by the afternoon with a 10ft S swell and strong south winds. It’ll be messy. Sunday and Monday the 30th and 31st have some size, with around 6-7ft and a bit of a cross-shore wind, but the quality drops. It’s more of a battle. Then into September, the first offers a solid 5ft SE groundswell with a 12-second period, but the winds are light cross-onshore. There’s decent energy there, but the conditions aren't ideal. The real gem in the long-range is Wednesday morning the 2nd of September. That’s looking like a clean little 4ft SE swell with glassy conditions. The energy is moderate, and it could be a nice, lazy day out. It’s a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not guaranteed.
So, to wrap it up: the standout is Thursday the 27th for the big, experienced-only waves. The other solid pick is Friday the 28th for a cleaner, more manageable session. The rest is mostly about picking the calm windows in between the messy stuff. Stay patient, and keep an eye on that forecast for the first week of September.
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.
