Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s a bit of a mixed bag coming up for Turimetta Beach, but there’s one standout window that’ll get the blood pumping. The rest of the 16 days is mostly small, messy, or onshore, so you gotta pick your moments.

The first real opportunity lands Saturday morning July 11th. Turimetta Beach is a beach and reef setup, exposed to ESE swells, and it’s fairly consistent. We’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a 12-second period—that's a nice groundswell, giving good shape and energy. The combined swell energy is 389, which is moderate. A light NW breeze at 6 mph is blowing cross-offshore, and that’ll keep the faces clean. Expect good surf conditions, but fair warning—crowds are possible here. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

Then there’s a long gap. Saturday afternoon goes to crap with a NE cross-onshore, and Sunday the 12th drops to 2ft with a WNW offshore, but the energy’s down to 107 and it’s just ordinary. From Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 14th, we’re scraping half a foot to 0.7ft—basically nothing worth paddling out for.

Wednesday morning July 15th, things get heavy but messy. The swell jumps to 10ft from the S at 10 seconds (moderate period), with combined energy at 1539—that’s strong to very strong wave energy. But it’s a cross-shore SSW wind at 16 mph, creating a cross-chop. That size is for experts only, over 8ft, and the conditions are marginal, maybe tricky tide. Thursday the 16th stays around 6–6ft but with short 7–8 second period and cross-shore winds—just poor.

Friday the 17th is 4ft with rain showers and a light cross-off, but the period is down to 6 seconds and energy is 158—very ordinary.

Now, the second week is sparse but has a couple of flickers. Saturday the 18th has 3ft from the E with a 9-second period and light cross-shore wind—marginal. Sunday morning July 19th looks promising: 3ft E swell with a 9-second period, a light NW offshore at 6 mph, and combined energy of 238 (moderate). The guidance says expect good surf. Clean, small, but fun for the patient.

Monday the 20th sees a bump to 5ft from the ENE at 10 seconds, energy hitting 1000—strong—and a light cross-off NNW breeze. Clean but marginal; could be okay for intermediates with some tide smarts.

Tuesday the 21st drops back to 4ft, and then Wednesday July 22nd is a real standout: 5ft S swell at 10 seconds, combined energy 670 (moderate to strong), with a light WNW offshore at 6 mph. The guidance says expect very good surf conditions. Clean, proper lines for the reef.

Thursday the 23rd afternoon is another gem: 2ft from the S with a 19-second period—that’s very long period groundswell. Perfect for a reef like this, as it’ll wrap in nicely. Glassy conditions with a NE breeze at just 3 mph, energy at 426 (moderate). Expect good surf.

After that, it fades fast. Friday the 24th is 2ft and ordinary, and from Saturday the 25th onward it’s all tiny 1–2ft with moderate cross-off winds—not worth it.

So the real standout is Wednesday the 22nd’s morning session with that clean 5ft S swell, and if you’re hanging out, Thursday the 23rd afternoon with that glassy, long-period treat.

Rusty.
