The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up around Turimetta Beach.
Overall, the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag. We’ve got a slow start, a few windows of clean conditions, and a possible late blast of solid swell to get the blood pumping.
First thing Friday morning, the 17th, it’s actually glassy with a small 3ft swell from the south, period is short at 6 seconds, so not much punch. The combined energy is weak (113). It’s surfable but very ordinary, honestly not worth getting too excited about. The water temperature is 64°, pretty much normal for this time of year.
The weekend is a write-off. Saturday the 18th stays cross-onshore and choppy, with small easterly windswell – not a good look. Sunday the 19th has a bigger swell jumping up to 7ft from the ENE with a long 11-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1133). But the wind is onshore, so it’s messy and marginal. That’s a kiteboarding setup if I’ve ever seen one, not a paddle surfer’s friend.
Now, Monday morning the 20th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops to a clean 6ft from the ENE, period 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the west. Combined energy is still strong (755). That’s a solid morning for an intermediate surfer – clean conditions, decent size. The afternoon goes cross-onshore, so get on it early.
Tuesday the 21st morning is similar – glassy, 5ft ENE swell, period 10 seconds, energy at 496. Good, clean surf. Wednesday the 22nd keeps the clean theme going with a morning offshore wind from the WNW, though the swell backs off to 4ft, period 10 seconds (238 energy). Still a fun little session.
Thursday the 23rd morning has a 4ft south swell, 6-second period, but winds are light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean. Not a standout, but rideable.
Friday the 24th has a clean morning with offshore wind and a 4ft south swell, 9-second period, energy 270. Worth a paddle.
Saturday the 25th is another clean morning, 5ft south swell, 10-second period, light cross-offshore wind, energy 422. That’s a solid morning for a reef/beach setup like Turimetta.
After that, the surf drops right off. Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 29th morning is small and weak – mostly under 3ft, with long period groundswell from the SE on the 27th and 28th (16 and 14 seconds), but barely any energy (89 and 69). The long period will make it straight and gutless at the beach.
Then Wednesday the 29th afternoon – this is the standout of the whole forecast. A solid 7ft south swell, 11-second period, strong energy (1032), with offshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph. The morning is a bit bigger at 8ft (1649 energy) but with cross-offshore wind. The afternoon is cleaner and still pumping. That’s expert territory at 7ft, and with crowds possible at Turimetta, it’ll be worth the early paddle. Swell direction from the south is a good match for the optimum ESE exposure.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st stay chunky, with 8ft south swell on Friday morning (1260 energy) and 16 mph cross-offshore wind. Big, powerful, but still clean. Only for experienced surfers.
The first of August settles back to a clean 4ft morning, but the wind picks up in the afternoon.
So, the best on offer is Wednesday the 29th afternoon – that’s the one to circle. Clean, strong, solid south swell. Monday the 20th morning is the next best for a clean, glassy session.

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.

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.
