Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Grab a coffee, mate. Rusty here, looking over what we’ve got for the next couple weeks.

Water sits around 63°, a touch under the usual for this time of year. Feels pretty average, nothing shocking.

We’re starting quiet. Sunday the 23rd has next to nothing: tiny swell, onshore breeze, total waste of a wetsuit. There's a few days here with no real surf to speak of.

Monday the 24th morning cleans up a bit with a light offshore from the north; waves about chest high (3 ft) from the south at a short 10 seconds. Rideable but average.

Tuesday the 25th morning offers a little more. Swell pushes to about 4 ft from the northeast, very short period (6 seconds) but offshore north winds keep it tidy. Wave energy sits moderate (315). The afternoon stays similar in size but the rain arrives.

Now listen up. Thursday the 27th morning is your best early window. Glassy - barely any wind, just a whisper from the southeast. Waves around 5 ft from the south, 8-second period, and wave energy hits moderately strong (376). That is the one to get out of bed for. Turimetta Beach handles south swell nicely with its beach and reef mix. Crowds sometimes show, so get in early.

Friday the 28th morning also goes glassy with a northwesterly breeze, swell a bit smaller at 4 ft but clean. Good second option if you missed Thursday.

Second week rolls in with Monday the 31st looking like a sleeper hit. Early morning, light cross-offshore from the southwest. Swell is only 2 ft but the period is a massive 18 seconds with strong wave energy (480). That is proper groundswell. On a beach break like this, it’ll run a bit straight but paddle out is a dream and the power is way above what the height tells you.

Tuesday the 1st of September has a similar story: 3 ft from the south, 14-second period, offshore northwesterlies, and solid energy (380). Tiny-looking but full of grunt.

Thursday the 3rd afternoon has a brief window of clean offshore wind and 5 ft from the south-southeast, but it’s only 7 seconds. Short period, quick drops, but if you nail the timing, it has some pop.

From Friday the 4th onward, the surf fades. Tiny waves, weak energy under 200, and inconsistent. The mornings of the 6th and 7th have some clean offshore moments, but the swell is barely 2 to 3 ft. Only for the die-hards.

Best bang for your buck: Thursday the 27th morning - glassy, 5 ft, clean, and the energy is pumping. Second call goes to Monday the 31st morning for that long-period groundswell that’ll put power in your pocket even if the faces look small.

Rusty.
