The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for Turimetta Beach is a slow starter, but it builds into something special if you’ve got patience. We’ve got a decent run of small, clean surf through the first week, then a proper pulse of groundswell hits the second week that’s worth circling on the calendar.
The water temp is sitting at about 64°F, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
We kick off Saturday the 29th with a bit of a dud. Saturday morning has some clouds, a light cross-shore from the SSW at 3 mph, and a 4ft SSE swell with a short 10-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 424 – surfable but marginal, with questionable tide. Saturday afternoon is worse: onshore ESE at 6 mph, 4ft, same direction, period drops to 9 seconds. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday the 30th is where we get our first real highlight. Sunday morning is glassy – NW wind at 3 mph, 3ft south swell, 9-second period. Clean, small, and fun for a longboard or a mid-length. Combined energy is 280, moderate. Afternoon goes onshore again, so get it early.
Monday the 31st continues the trend. Monday morning, clear skies, light cross-off N wind at 3 mph, 3ft south swell, 8-second period. Clean again, combined energy 267. Monday afternoon gets a stiff cross-on from the ENE at 12 mph – choppy and messy.
Tuesday the 1st of September is worth a mention. Tuesday morning, clean with a cross-off N breeze at 9 mph, 3ft south swell, period bumps up to 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy 269. The longer period gives better shape, and the wind is clean. Not a standout, but a solid session for a small wave rider.
From Wednesday the 2nd through Friday the 4th, we get persistent offshore winds – NW and W at 9 mph – but the swell drops right off. Wednesday morning is 2ft, Thursday morning 2ft, Friday morning 3ft. Very small, very clean. Combined energy drops into the double digits. Only worth a splash if you’re desperate.
Saturday the 5th sees the swell fade further – 2ft, though winds go cross-off again. Not much to get excited about.
Now here’s where it gets interesting – the second week surge. Sunday the 6th brings a 3ft south swell back, 9-second period, but cross-on winds from the S at 6 mph. Not clean. Monday the 7th is a wild card. Monday morning has a strong offshore from the WNW at 25 mph, but only 1.0ft swell – impossible. Monday afternoon, same strong offshore, but the swell jumps to 7ft from the south, 9-second period, combined energy 664. That’s a strong, clean offshore – but the wind is cranking. For experienced surfers only, and even then, it’ll be a battle.
Tuesday the 8th – morning is a write-off. Afternoon, the swell pumps up to 7ft from the south, 13-second period, combined energy 1398 – strong wave energy. Cross-off WSW wind at 22 mph keeps it clean, but that’s a lot of wind. Still, for the brave, there will be some pits.
Wednesday the 9th – morning is the biggest of the run. 8ft south swell, 12-second period, combined energy a massive 1848. Cross-off SW wind at 16 mph – clean. This is for experts only, no question. Too big for beginners.
The true standout – Thursday the 10th. Thursday morning, glassy conditions – SSW wind at 3 mph, 7ft SSE swell, 12-second period, combined energy 1140. That is excellent surf for experienced surfers. Glassy, deep water groundswell, solid size, and the crowd factor is only ‘sometimes’ at Turimetta Beach so you might score some clean ones without a circus. This is the morning to call in sick for.
Friday the 11th – morning glass again. 4ft SSE swell, 12-second period, combined energy 656. Very good surf, cleaner and smaller, more manageable for intermediates. Afternoon goes onshore and ruins it.
From there, the swell backs off. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are small and messy with onshore or cross-shore winds. Not worth talking about.
So to wrap it up: the standout is Thursday morning, 10th of September – glassy, 7ft SSE groundswell, 12 seconds, for the experienced crew. If you want something more mellow, Sunday the 30th morning or Tuesday the 1st morning are your small, clean windows. The big Wednesday the 9th morning is expert-only.
Stay safe, and check the tides.
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.
