The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. It’s Rusty here.
We’re looking at the next 16 days and honestly, Monday the 27th of July is a bit of a slow starter. The waves are there but nothing to get worked up about. From Tuesday the 28th, it gets very small, with barely any energy. We’ve then got a real lull until Thursday the 30th, when things wake up properly.
The standout period is from Thursday the 30th through to the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, with a couple of real highlights. The best of the lot? Thursday the 30th morning, and then Saturday the 8th of August morning. Both of those are absolute crackers.
Let’s break it down.
Monday morning 27th July – Turimetta Beach (beach and reef) has a clean 4ft groundswell from the S with a 9-second period. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, so bang on average for this time of year. Wind is light from the WSW, cross-off, keeping things clean. Combined swell energy is moderate (244). It’s surfable, a solid 2 out of 10 in my book, but nothing special.
Monday afternoon turns rubbish with onshore wind. Small and choppy. Tuesday and Wednesday are tiny, with swell under 2ft. Wednesday the 29th sees a very long period 17-second swell but it’s only 0.7ft – not worth paddling out for.
Thursday 30th July morning – now we’re talking. A solid 7ft S swell with a 9-second period slams into Turimetta Beach. The combined swell energy is massive (1383) – strong energy. Wind is WSW at 9 mph, cross-off, leaving it clean. This is for experienced surfers only. At 7ft, it’s too big for beginners, but the quality is excellent. This is the first true standout.
Friday 31st morning is very good too – 6ft S swell, 10-second period, clean light cross-off wind. Combined energy is high (760). Friday afternoon gets messy with onshore wind, so stick to the mornings.
Saturday 1st August morning – 5ft SSE swell, clean, good conditions. Afternoon is blown out. Sunday 2nd August morning – 4ft SSE swell, clean again. After that, from the 3rd to the 5th, the swell drops and the wind picks up. It gets average at best.
Thursday 6th August morning – 6ft S swell, but the wind is moderate and the quality is only marginal. Then we hit the big one.
Saturday 8th August morning – this is the absolute standout of the whole run. A massive 12ft SE swell (where the optimum swell direction is ESE, so SE is close), with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is enormous (2736). Wind is light from the WSW, only 6 mph, cross-off. This is for experts only – over 8ft, it’s too big for most. Clean, powerful, and the best day of the whole forecast.
Sunday 9th August morning – still very good with 7ft SE swell, 11-second period, clean with light NNW wind. That’s another excellent session for experienced surfers.
From the 10th of August onward, the swell drops back down below 5ft, with strong cross-off winds on the 11th that make it poor quality. The run fades out.
One thing – because this is a beach and reef break, and because some of these big swells are long-period (over 10 seconds), they can be a bit too straight for a beach break and might hold up better around the reef. Keep that in mind.
So if you’re picking your days: Thursday 30th July morning and Saturday the 8th of August morning are the two that’ll have you grinning. Get it while it’s clean.
