The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re looking at Turimetta Beach. Water temp is about 63°, pretty standard for this time of year – nothing unusual.
Thursday afternoon is a washout. 4ft of short-period NE windswell, 6 seconds, cross-shore wind. Energy is weak (119). Just leave it.
Friday morning is the first real chance. Swell drops to 3ft from the ENE, still short period, but we get a light offshore wind from the NW. Clean, but small. Energy is low (64). Surfable, but nothing to write home about. Friday afternoon fades.
Saturday is tiny – 1ft. Not worth it.
Sunday morning brings a new S swell. 3ft, 10-second period, light offshore. Energy is moderate (174). Clean and lined up, though a bit inconsistent. Good for intermediates.
Monday morning is the best of the first week. Same S swell, 3ft, 10-second period, 272 energy, and clean offshore wind. The forecast says “good surf conditions.” This is the one to aim for.
Tuesday morning holds 4ft from the NE, but period is back to 6 seconds. Energy is moderate (240). Clean, but marginal.
Now, Wednesday 26th August – a big pulse. 10ft from the S, 8-second period. That’s huge, and the energy is massive (1141). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but this is for experts only. The short period means it’ll be steep and punchy. Afternoon drops to 8ft.
Thursday the 27th is smaller again, 4ft, clean but marginal.
The rest of the run into early September is mostly small, weak, and onshore. There’s a glassy morning on 1st September with 2ft S swell and 11-second period, but it’s just too small to get excited about. Energy is moderate (160) but the size isn’t there.
Your best bet is Sunday 23rd and Monday 24th August – clean, moderate energy, and the best quality. Monday morning is the standout.
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.
