The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window, and honestly, the opening act is a bit of a dud. The first few days offer nothing worth paddling out for, so we’re looking at a gap of flat, ordinary conditions until we get a proper pulse.
The real action starts to build from Sunday, August 23rd. That’s when the ocean starts to wake up. The stand-out window is the morning of that Sunday. Turimetta Beach is looking at a 5ft south swell, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a solid, workable wave. The magic is the wind: glassy, dead calm. That means the waves will be clean, smooth, and lined up. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 360. It’s not going to be a monster, but with that wind, it’s going to be quality. The water temp is about 63°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, but nothing too wild.
If you’re a beginner, that 5ft is a little punchy, but it’s well within the intermediate wheelhouse. The break is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell, so it’ll handle that south energy well. Keep in mind, the afternoon on Sunday the 23rd gets messy as the wind swings NE, so get it while it’s good.
Monday the 24th morning is also a solid shout. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the south, but the period is a decent 10 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-off from the north. That’s clean, rippable, and the crowd factor is only “sometimes” at Turimetta, so you might get a few waves to yourself.
Later in the week, Tuesday the 25th afternoon has a 5ft swell from the NE, but with a short 7-second period, it’s going to be a bit jumbled and weak. That’s a pass.
The most promising distant call is Monday, August 31st. A long-period south groundswell rolls in, with a 17-second period and a combined energy of 483. That’s a strong pulse. The swell height is only 2ft, but with that period, the waves will have real shape and push. The morning is glassy with a light north wind. That’s a classic Turimetta set-up: clean, long lines, and the reef will make the most of that long period. Just be aware, long period swells can be a bit too straight for beach breaks, but Turimetta’s reef should focus it nicely.
The first week of September also shows some promise, with the 1st and 5th offering clean, offshore winds, but the swell is small. It’s not a standout, but it’s a sign that the ocean isn’t giving up.
Overall, the best of the lot is the Sunday morning, August 23rd. That glassy 5ft south swell is the pick. The Monday the 31st is the long-range one to keep an eye on, but it’s a bit far out to lock in. The rest of the window is a mix of onshore slop or tiny waves.
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.

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.
