Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Turimetta Beach.

Right off the bat, I gotta say, the start of this outlook is a bit of a grind. The first few days are pretty messy. We’ve got a solid slug of south swell pumping in, but the wind is just ruining it – cross-onshore, choppy, lumpy. Tuesday the 8th is a write-off with an 8ft south swell and 16 mph south wind, that’s just ugly. Wednesday the 9th sees the swell jump to 10ft but the wind is even worse at 22 mph from the south, creating a real washing machine. Thursday the 10th has similar size and energy, with that combined energy hitting 1600 on the morning and over 2000 in the arvo, but the cross-wind keeps it too chopped up for a decent paddle.

We finally get a window of something good on Saturday the 12th of September. That morning, the wind drops right out – a light 3 mph from the northwest, cross-offshore, and the report says clean. The swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the SSE with a nice 11-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 588. This is the standout. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the south, so it’ll pick up that energy nicely. Water temp is sitting around 65°, which is about normal for this time of year. The morning looks like the only window, as the arvo swings onshore and chops it up.

Sunday the 13th drops right off, down to 3ft and inconsistent, and the wind goes onshore again. There’s another small clean window on Monday the 14th morning with a 3ft, 12-second period south swell and a light northwest cross-offshore wind. It’s tiny but clean. After that, the middle of the week is mostly a bust with onshore winds and small, weak swell.

We see another glimmer on Wednesday the 16th morning – glassy conditions with a 4ft SSE swell. That’s a proper clean session, but it’s short-lived as the wind swings onshore in the afternoon. The following weekend, the 19th and 20th, bring some offshore or cross-offshore wind, but the swell is small and weak – 3ft to 4ft, with short periods. The morning of the 20th has a 4ft south swell with a light cross-offshore breeze, which is surfable but nothing to write home about.

Further out, the 23rd of September has a morning window with a clean 2ft south swell and a 11-second period, with a light offshore from the west-northwest. It’s small, but it’s clean.

So, overall, the first week is a battle with onshore winds and messy conditions. The real standout is the Saturday the 12th morning session – that’s your best bet for a clean, fun wave. The other windows are mostly small and clean but not firing. The water temp is about normal, so a steamer is fine. It’s not a classic run, but there’s a couple of windows to get wet.
