Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down. This stretch is mostly flat or average, but there’s one proper day that’s worth chasing.

At Turimetta Beach, the first decent window is Wednesday morning, August 12th: clean, 4ft swell from the south (10 seconds), with a light offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (329). The water’s a touch colder than usual at 63°, so a wetsuit is a must. That morning is your first real chance.

After that, it goes downhill. Thursday the 13th is still clean with 4ft south swell, but the period drops to a weak 7 seconds, and it’s not going to hold. Thursday afternoon turns onshore and messy, and the whole weekend is blown out with rain and cross-onshore winds. Not worth it.

There’s a long gap of poor to ordinary conditions until Wednesday the 19th. That morning goes glassy with 4ft of east-southeast swell, but only 7 seconds – surfable, but nothing special. Thursday the 20th is also glassy with 4ft from the east, still very ordinary.

Saturday the 22nd gives you a clean 3ft from the east-northeast on the morning offshore. Okay, but nothing to write home about. Then Sunday the 23rd morning bumps up: 4ft from the east-northeast, a better 10-second period, light offshore wind, and the combined energy climbs to 301 – moderate but solid. That whole day cleans up.

Now the standout. Circle Thursday the 27th. The morning serves up 6ft of northeast groundswell (7 seconds) with a clean offshore breeze from the west-northwest. Combined energy hits 529 – strong. And the afternoon is even better: still 6ft, but the period stretches to 8 seconds and the energy jumps to 767, with the same clean offshore wind. This is the best wave of the whole forecast. Intermediates will love it, but the size makes it a solid step up. Turimetta can draw a crowd sometimes, so expect some company if you want the best peaks.

Everything before the 27th is mostly filler. That Thursday is the real deal.
