Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Turimetta Beach. This is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell, so when it gets a bit of energy in the right direction, it can fire. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is normal for the time of year – no surprises there.

The start of the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a clear standout early on. Thursday morning, the 9th of July, is the pick of the whole run. The swell is a solid 6 ft out of the SE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 832. The wind is a light 5 km/h from the SW, making it a clean cross-off breeze. That’s going to deliver some very good surf with clean faces. The water’s a normal 65° too. This is the morning to be in the water.

Thursday afternoon goes a bit ordinary with a cross-on wind building, so the quality drops off. Friday morning is a cross-shore mess, but Friday afternoon, the 10th, turns glassy. That 6 ft SE swell at 593 combined energy will be clean and smooth, a nice little session. Saturday morning, the 11th, drops to 3 ft from the ESE with a long 12-second period. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW, so it’ll be clean, but that long period might make it a bit too straight on the beach – it’ll be better on the reef. The energy is 389, so it’s weaker.

Sunday morning, the 12th, has a strong offshore wind of 25 km/h from the W, but the swell is tiny at 3 ft, with only 125 combined energy. It’s surfable but very ordinary. From Monday morning, the 13th, through to Tuesday the 14th, the swell drops right out. We’re looking at a few days of near-flat conditions, with energy dropping to just 7 and then 3. It’s a real gap in the action.

A big pulse of energy hits on Wednesday the 15th, with a 8 ft S swell at 8 seconds, but the wind is a strong 45 km/h cross-on from the SSE. It’s messy and lumpy – not for paddling. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th get huge, with 18 ft and 15 ft swells, but the wind is still strong and cross-on or onshore. This is big, dangerous, and blown out. The combined energy is massive, hitting 6719, but it’s a full-on washing machine. This looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.

The surf stays big and messy through the weekend of the 18th and 19th, with 16 ft and 12 ft swells, but the wind is still a problem. The best chance in this second week comes on Monday morning, the 20th of July. The swell is back to a manageable 6 ft from the SE, with a 10-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the NW at 5 km/h. The combined energy is 830, and the conditions are clean. That’s a good one. Tuesday the 21st has a similar 4 ft swell with a clean offshore.

The real standout for the second week, though, is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The swell is 12 ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is a strong offshore from the W at 20 km/h. The combined energy is 2155. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. It’s going to be big and clean, but at that size, it’s for experts only. Thursday the 23rd gets messy again with a strong cross-shore wind, but Friday morning, the 24th of July, is a beauty. The swell is 8 ft from the ESE, with an 11-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the NW. Combined energy is 1269, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers.

So, the absolute best on offer is Thursday morning, the 9th of July, for the clean, 6 ft SE swell. For the second week, the standout is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, for the big, clean offshore swell, but that’s only for the experts. Keep an eye on Monday the 20th and Friday the 24th for cleaner, more manageable conditions.
