The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Well, the next couple of days are pretty grim, but don't write off the whole stretch just yet. There’s a proper run of decent waves coming through the middle of the week, and even a couple of standout sessions that’ll make it worth dusting off the board. The water is sitting at 64°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ll kick things off late this Friday afternoon, the 17th of July, at Turimetta Beach. It's a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, and exposed to the east-southeast. There’s a knee-high 2ft swell from the east, pushing in with a short 6-second period, so it’s weak and a bit meandering. The combined energy is just 86, which is weak, but the real winner here is the glassy 3 mph south-southeast wind. It’s clean, you’ll catch a few, but it’s not going to set the world on fire.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are pretty ordinary. The wind swings cross-onshore and the swell gets a bit more height but it’s messy with cross-chop. Sunday morning sees a 7ft swell from the east-northeast with an 11-second period and a massive 1289 combined energy reading, but the wind is onshore from the southeast – it’s a raw, lumpy affair. That’s more of a kite surfing day than a paddle session.
Now, the real light in the tunnel is Monday morning, the 20th of July. Swell drops to 6ft from the east-northeast, still a decent 10-second period, combined energy at 778 (moderate to strong), and the wind goes glassy from the west-northwest at just 3 mph. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The conditions are superb – clean, glassy, and the swell has some punch. It’s a solid intermediate wave and the offshore wind will hold it open beautifully. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Tuesday morning the 21st is still very good, with 5ft east-northeast swell, 10-second period, and again glassy west-northwest wind. Energy is down to 455 but it’s still clean and fun. Wednesday and Thursday drop back to smaller, knee-to-waist high waves with cleaner winds, but nothing special.
There’s a bit of a gap from the 23rd through to the 30th of July. The swell gets small, weak, and inconsistent – we’re looking at 0.7ft to 3ft stuff, mostly from the south and southeast, with combined energy under 200. The wind stays offshore or glassy on the mornings, so you’ll see a few tiny peelers, but honestly, it’s a quiet period.
Then, out of the blue, Friday the 31st of July throws up a spike. Friday morning sees 7ft swell from the south with a short 7-second period and combined energy at 441. The wind is cross-offshore from the southwest at 12 mph, so it’s clean, but that short period will make it a bit fat and lumpy. Friday afternoon pushes up to 8ft from the south, 8-second period, 660 energy, but the wind goes cross-onshore from the south-southeast, so it’ll be choppy. This is really only for the experienced crew. After that, Saturday the 1st of August drops right back to small, weak conditions with onshore winds.
So, if you’re picking your moment, Monday the 20th of July is the absolute best on offer – glassy, solid 6ft east-northeast swell, clean as a whistle. Tuesday the 21st is a close runner-up. After that, it’s a waiting game until the end of the month, but forecasts can change.
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.
