The Lowdown
Alright, mates, let's talk about the surf ahead. Look, the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag – we’ve got some action to kick things off, but there are also some flat spells to shrug at. The good news is, there are a couple of sessions that look like absolute rippers if you time it right.
We’re looking at Turimetta Beach this whole run. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell. Water temp is sitting at 18° – about average for this time of year, so a decent 3/2 should do ya.
The first real window opens on Tuesday, the 25th of August. Tuesday morning has a clean, cross-off wind from the NNW at 15 km/h, with a 1.6m swell coming from the NE at a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate (439). It’s not huge, but it’s got a bit of push and the wind won’t ruin it. Tuesday afternoon goes south with rain and onshore wind, so the morning is your window.
Moving into Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th, the conditions get pretty average. A lot of cross and cross-on wind chopping things up, so you’re better off waiting.
Now, Friday the 28th of August is a solid stand-out. Friday morning is looking clean and clear. A light offshore breeze from the WSW at just 5 km/h will be grooming the face. The swell is 1.6m from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds – that's quality groundswell energy. The combined energy is strong (632). That’s your pick for the week. Crowds can be around at Turimetta, so it might pay to get in early for a piece of that.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are a bit marginal with cross-shore winds and question marks on the tide. You’ll find a wave, but it’s not the standout.
Alright, now for the proper one. Keep your eyes on Monday, the 31st of August. Monday morning is glassy – not a breath of wind from the NNW. The swell is 1.4m from the S, but get this: the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s very long-period groundswell, and the energy reading is a huge 1211. Now, for a setup like Turimetta, that long period is going to be best on the reef sections, because it can break a bit straight on the beach. But it’s powerful, clean, and the paddling out will be easier with those long lulls between sets. This one is for experienced surfers – over 1.5m of swell from this direction with that period will have some juice. Monday afternoon gets messy with a NE wind, so just nail that dawn session.
After that, we drop right off. Tuesday the 1st of September has a tiny clean 1.0m swell, and it just keeps fading. From Wednesday the 2nd through to the weekend of the 6th/7th, the swell is tiny or blown out. There’s a couple of days there with barely enough energy to push a foamie. It goes flat, with readings dropping to double digits.
The next potential glimmer shows up on Wednesday the 9th of September. Morning has a clean 1.5m swell from the S at 7 seconds, with a light offshore wind (273 energy). It’s short period, but it’s rideable and clean. But don’t bank on it, because the afternoon turns to a strong 40 km/h southerly, ruining the chop. Long-range calls are always less certain, so keep an eye on the charts.
To sum it up: Friday morning the 28th is the first real winner for clean, solid surf. Then Monday the 31st is the heavy-hitter for the experienced crew – glassy and powerful, but on the reef for the best shape. After that first week, we hit a long flat spell with maybe a brief clean window on the 9th. Don’t hold your breath for the second week.

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.
