The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. It’s slow out the gate, but there’s a proper one on the horizon that’ll get your heart pumping.
We start this Saturday morning, the 29th of August, with a messy 4ft from the SSE. Light cross breeze, combined wave energy at 401—moderate, but not worth the drive. Sunday the 30th has a nicer 3ft from the S early, glassy and clean. That combined energy drops to 247, but it’s a solid small wave window. Monday the 31st brings a tiny 2ft swell with a super long 15-second period from the S, and clean off-shore wind. It’s small, but glassy as glass. From Tuesday the 1st of September through the 6th, it’s basically flat. Waves stay under 3ft, combined energy sinks as low as 55. A few clean mornings, but not enough push to surf. That’s a long dry spell.
Now, the big one. Tuesday the 8th of September is the showstopper. The swell jumps to 11ft early, then 13ft in the afternoon, both from the SSE and S with an 11-second period. Combined energy rips at 2065 in the morning, and a huge 4082 in the arvo—that’s very strong. The wind is glassy early, then clean offshore later. This is for experts only—anything over 8ft is big boy territory. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
For this, the spot is Turimetta Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, and exposed to the SSE swell. The swell direction lines up near perfectly with its optimum (ESE). That offshore wind in the afternoon will keep the 13ft faces clean and lined up. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so there’ll be a crew, but it’s worth it.
Wednesday the 9th of September stays big at 8ft from the SSE in the morning, but cross-off wind makes it a bit bumpy. Combined energy is still strong at 1186. Thursday the 10th is a mess with strong cross-breezes and chop. Friday the 11th of September drops to about 5ft from the SSE, with a clean offshore wind in the morning—a good backup plan. Combined energy is moderate at 556. The weekend after that fades back to small.
Bottom line: the first week is a bust. The second week has the goods, and Tuesday the 8th is your all-star. Don’t miss it if you can handle the size.
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.
Turimetta Beach is 6 km (4 miles) from Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
