The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up for Turimetta Beach. The next few days are a write-off, but there’s a real sweet spot from Thursday the 30th of July through to Sunday the 2nd of August. After that, the energy drops right off, and we’re looking at a long run of small, weak surf for the rest of the outlook.
The real standout is going to be Friday morning, the 31st of July. We’ve got a solid 7ft south swell rolling in with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the southwest. That’s clean, lined-up waves at Turimetta Beach, a fairly consistent beach and reef setup that handles a south swell well. The combined energy is pumping at 809 (moderate wave energy), and it’s got that nice shape to it. For intermediates, this is the pick of the bunch. Water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Thursday morning, the 30th, isn’t far behind. A 6ft south swell with a 9-second period, cross-offshore wind from the WSW, and energy at 608. It’s a bit shorter period, so the waves will be a touch more crumbly, but still very clean. Saturday morning, the 1st of August, will see a 5ft south swell with 10-second period and light cross-offshore wind from the southwest—clean, but a step down in size. Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, is also worth a mention: 6ft from the SSE with a nice 12-second period, light offshore from the north, and energy at 857. That longer period groundswell will produce some good, powerful waves, but it might be a bit too straight for a beach break—still, it’s clean.
After Sunday, the surf goes quiet. From Monday the 3rd, we’re looking at drops below 3ft, with weak energy readings in the double digits and low 100s. The wind stays mostly offshore or cross-offshore, but the swell just isn’t there. There’s a tiny spike on Thursday the 6th of August morning with a 3ft south swell and glassy conditions, but it’s barely surfable. Then it’s a long, drawn-out period of nothing much until the 13th of August, where a 5ft south swell shows up, but the wind is strong and cross-offshore, and the quality is poor.
Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Turimetta, so on those standout mornings, you might have a few others about, but nothing too hectic. The swell direction (south) aligns perfectly with the optimum for this spot (ESE?), so it’s working in our favour.
So, if you’re keen, make the call for Friday morning, 31st July. It’s the best on offer, hands down. Sunday morning, 2nd August, is a solid backup. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
