Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, checkin' in with the local outlook for Turimetta Beach. We've got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there's some real beauty in there if you time it right.

The pattern starts with a bit of a pulse on Friday the 11th. Friday morning is looking like the pick of the early days. We've got a solid 6ft south swell, with a clean cross-off breeze from the southwest. The water's feeling about average for this time of year. The energy is moderate (672) and it's gonna be clean. Later in the arvo, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops off, so make the most of the morning.

Saturday the 12th is a standout. The morning is magic – glassy conditions with a 4ft south swell. The period is a nice long 12 seconds, so there's a bit of push behind it. The energy is solid (614) and with that glassy surface, it's going to be a ripper. This is your best wave of the period. The afternoon gets a bit choppy with a cross-onshore breeze, so again, it's a morning mission.

Sunday the 13th is a step down. The swell drops to 3ft and the wind goes cross-shore in the morning, then turns into a strong cross-onshore in the arvo. It's going to be a bit messy.

Monday the 14th is tiny. 2ft south swell in the morning with a light offshore breeze, so it's clean but it's small. The afternoon is a write-off.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are a write-off. On Wednesday, the swell jumps up to 10ft from the south, but it's got a nasty cross-onshore wind at 15 mph, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. That's a big number – energy is a massive 1319 – but the wind kills it. Thursday the 17th is a bit better. The morning sees a 5ft south swell with a clean cross-off breeze, so the surf is clean and fun. The arvo gets messy again.

Then we hit a bit of a flat spell. Friday the 18th through to Monday the 21st has very small waves, mostly under 2ft, and often with poor wind. The period on Friday the 18th is a very long 19 seconds, but with only 2ft of swell, it's just not enough to get excited about.

The next real chance comes on Saturday the 20th. The morning has a 4ft south swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the northwest. The energy is getting back up there (452) and the surf will be clean. Sunday the 21st has a tiny 2ft south swell, but it's glassy in the morning – good for a longboard, maybe.

The second week really drops off. From Monday the 22nd through to the end of the outlook, it's mostly small, weak, and onshore. The best of a bad bunch looks like Wednesday the 23rd morning, with a 4ft swell from the east-northeast and a clean cross-off wind. But the energy is low (154) and the period is short (7 seconds), so it's not going to be anything special.

The standout for the period is Saturday the 12th morning. That 4ft south swell, 12-second period, glassy wind, and moderate energy (614) is going to be a treat. Get there early. The second best is Friday the 11th morning with the 6ft south swell and clean cross-off breeze. After that, it's a waiting game for the next pulse.

Rusty.
