Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Turimetta Beach.

Right out of the gate, it’s pretty flat and ugly. There’s a bit of small stuff on Friday 21st, but it’s weak and ordinary. You’re better off waiting. The real story starts to build late on Sunday 23rd. That morning, the wind goes totally glassy, with a 4ft south swell coming in at a steady 10 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (281), and the water’s sitting at 63°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for the time of year – no surprises there. Sunday morning is a genuine standout: clean, glassy, and that south swell has a bit of shape to it. It’s the best on offer in the first week. That afternoon, the wind swings and the quality drops, so make the most of the morning session.

Monday 24th is okay, but choppy in the arvo. Wednesday 26th morning is another one to pencil in: light westerly cross-off wind, 4ft swell from the east-northeast with a short 8-second period, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (210) and it feels fun, but you’ll want to be out before the southerly wind picks up.

Now, if you’re willing to look further ahead, Saturday 29th has a clean morning with a 3ft swell and light north wind, but the real standout pops on Sunday 30th morning – that’s glassy again, with a solid 5ft swell from the east-southeast, period at 8 seconds, and wave energy ramping up to strong (323). That’s a proper session for intermediate surfers. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but for anyone half comfortable, it’s the pick of the whole outlook. The afternoon gets onshore and messy, so stick to the morning.

There’s a run of ordinary days after that, with a lot of wind-affected junk. Thursday 3rd September morning has a 5ft north-east swell with moderate energy (421), but the cross-shore wind will make it lumpy. Not a standout. Overall, the consistent spots are the glassy mornings – Sunday 23rd and Sunday 30th August are your two true highlights.

Rusty.
