Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Turimetta Beach.

Right off the bat, the next couple of days are a write-off. We’ve got tiny, weak swell with not enough energy to get excited about – nothing to wet a line for. Tuesday and Wednesday are a total bust, with wave heights barely scraping 2ft and periods that are all over the shop. The water’s sitting around average for the time of year, nothing wild there.

Things finally start to wake up on Thursday morning, the 30th of July. That’s where we see our first real chance. The swell pushes up to 6ft from the south, with a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the west-southwest. The combined energy is moderate (478), and while it’s not massive, it’s the first proper surfable day. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore, so get on it early if you can.

Now, the standout. Friday morning, the 31st of July, is where you want to be. The swell jumps to 6ft from the south, with a period of 11 seconds, giving it some real grunt. The combined energy is strong (818), and with a light, cross-offshore breeze from the southwest, it’s going to be clean. This is the pick of the lot. The afternoon sees the swell building to 8ft, but that onshore wind from the south will chop it up, so the morning session is the one.

Saturday morning, the 1st of August, is another solid option. We’ve got 5ft of south swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is light out of the west – clean. Combined energy is moderate (507). The afternoon goes glassy with an east-northeast breeze, which is a treat, but the swell drops slightly. Still a good day to be out.

Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, is the second big highlight. The swell is 6ft from the south-southeast, but the period jumps to a very long 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is strong (1077). This is excellent for experienced surfers, but that long period will make it break a bit straight at the beach, so it’s better if you’re confident. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north-northwest, so it’ll be clean. Afternoon gets a bit of a cross-onshore, so again, morning is your friend.

After that, the swell drops off through the first week of August. We get a few small, glassy mornings on the 5th, 6th, and 10th of August, with waves around 2ft to 4ft, but the energy is weak (43 to 158). It’s more of a longboard or just-get-wet kind of window. The 11th and 12th of August see a bit of a pulse from the northeast, but the wind is strong and the quality is poor, so it’s not worth chasing.

Overall, the best windows are Friday the 31st of July morning and Sunday the 2nd of August morning. Get out there early, and you’ll be smiling.

Rusty.
