Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Bit of a mixed bag on the horizon for Turimetta Beach. We’ve got some half-decent energy coming through, but the wind is gonna be a real pain for most of the fortnight. The first week is pretty ordinary, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get the blood pumping if you’re patient.

The opening few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 15th sees a powerful 8ft south swell (combined energy of 1319) but it’s getting chewed up by a cross-shore 16 mph wind, leaving it a messy, bumpy mess. Thursday and Friday are even worse, with the wind swinging onshore and the swell dropping right off. You’re looking at a solid gap of no quality surf from the 15th through to the 18th.

Now, Sunday the 19th starts to show a bit of life. A clean 8ft swell from the ENE is pushing in, but it’s onshore wind, so the surface is a bit lumpy. It’s a tease, really.

The standout of the whole forecast? Monday the 20th, hands down. The morning is pure magic. The swell is a solid 6ft from the ENE, but the wind goes glassy—dead calm, 3 mph from the SSW. That’s going to be absolutely pristine. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. Get out there early. It’s a beach and reef setup, and dunes can get busy sometimes, but that morning will be worth the crowd.

Monday afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore, but then Tuesday the 21st morning gives you another chance. A clean 5ft ENE swell with a light offshore breeze from the northwest. That’s a sweet, clean combo. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s got a bit of punch.

The rest of the first week is a mix of clean mornings and onshore afternoons. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd both have clean mornings with 4ft to 4ft ENE swell and offshore or cross-off winds. Wave energy is moderate (around 300-330). Solid for a fun, uncrowded session.

The second week gets a bit more patchy. Friday the 24th is a blowout with 7ft south swell and onshore wind. But look at Saturday the 25th morning—glassy conditions again, a tiny 3ft ENE swell, but clean as a whistle. Good for a longboard. Then Tuesday the 28th morning has a good 5ft south swell, 10-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. That’s a solid, punchy option.

The last day in the window, Thursday the 30th, has a clean morning with 4ft south swell and a light cross-off wind. A nice, easy way to finish.

So, in short: the first week is mostly a write-off until Monday the 20th. That’s the prize. The second week is more scattershot, with a few clean mornings on the 25th, 28th, and 30th. Overall, it’s not a total loss, but you’ve got to pick your windows.

Rusty.
