The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the full rundown for Turimetta Beach. It’s a tale of two weeks, a bit slow to start, but there’s some proper swell on the horizon if you can wait it out.
The next few days are pretty poor. We’ve got weak, short-period swell and onshore winds making a mess of things. Tuesday and Wednesday are not worth the paddle out; you’re looking at a choppy surface for very little reward.
Thursday looks a touch better, with a bit more size in the swell, but it’s still short-period and the wind is cross-onshore, which will keep the surface bumpy. It’s still only a marginal call.
The first real standout is the morning of Friday the 28th of August. This is the one to circle. A nice groundswell from the south-southeast is pushing in with a 11-second period and a solid energy reading of 576. The morning is looking glassy with a light offshore breeze. Expect clean, 1.4m waves on the reef. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. The afternoon turns onshore and spoils the fun, so get out there early.
The weekend is a bust. Saturday brings a bigger, but wild and messy south swell. It’s cross-shore, choppy, and not the kind of conditions you want to be out in. Sunday drops in size but is still poor.
Looking further ahead, the morning of Monday the 7th of September is another promising window. It’s more than a week away, so it’s a “promising but not certain” kind of call. But the signs are good – a clean, glassy start with a 1.2m south groundswell at 11 seconds and an energy level of 373. It should be far cleaner and more lined up than anything we’ve seen in the first week.
There’s also a potential session on the morning of the 9th of September. It’s a bit smaller, around 1.0m, but with a long, 12-second period and offshore winds, it could be really fun for a grovel on the reef.
So, to sum it up: it’s not all doom and gloom. The two mornings that stand out are Friday the 28th and the long-range one on the 7th of September. Turimetta can be a bit inconsistent, but when it clicks, it’s a great little wave. Keep your eyes peeled on those forecasts closer to the time.
Rusty.

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. Our Turimetta Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Turimetta Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
