The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Turimetta Beach has a bit of a mixed run over the next couple of weeks. There’s some nice surf early, then a quiet patch, followed by a big pulse of size that comes with a few complications.
Thursday afternoon the 27th is a write-off—onshore wind and poor conditions. Friday morning the 28th is the standout: 1.7m (6ft) SSE swell with an 11-second period, glassy west wind at 5 km/h, water temp 18° (64°F), which is normal for the time of year. Clean, well-shaped waves with moderate energy (727). Get on it early.
Friday afternoon turns choppy. Saturday morning the 29th cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze and 1.3m (4ft) swell. Sunday morning the 30th is another clean one with 1.1m (4ft) south swell and light offshore wind.
Then we hit a lull. The surf drops small through the end of the first week and into early September. Monday the 31st has 0.7m (2ft) south swell with a very long 17-second period (energy 487) but that long-period stuff can be a bit straight at Turimetta Beach. It’s glassy in the morning, so maybe worth a look, but not a major session.
From Tuesday the 1st of September through to around the 6th, waves stay mostly under a metre (3ft) with low energy. Winds are often offshore or cross-offshore, but the size just isn’t there. That’s about 4 or 5 days of meagre surf.
Monday the 7th of September brings a big south swell: 3.5m (12ft) at 10 seconds, strong wave energy (2553–3849). This is for experts only—over 8ft is heavy. Offshore winds from the WNW at 30 km/h (19 mph) in the morning, then cross-offshore. Conditions are marginal with tide factors, so it’s a watch-and-see.
Tuesday the 8th still has 2.5m (8ft) south swell (2110 energy), but cross-shore winds keep it less clean. The rest of the second week drops off into smaller swell and mostly poor conditions.
Overall, Friday morning the 28th is the pick of the bunch—clean, glassy, and solid. For the brave, the early second week swell is worth a look.
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.
