Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and we’ve got a solid look at Turimetta Beach for the next couple of weeks. This spot’s a beach-and-reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s fairly consistent – so when conditions line up, it can really fire. The water’s sitting at 64.0°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Sunday the 19th has some swell but the wind’s onshore from the southeast, making it messy and marginal. Energy’s there (1309) but the quality’s not. Monday the 20th morning though – that’s where it snaps into focus. We’ve got a clean 6.2ft ENE swell riding a 11-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the west-northwest. Combined energy is pumping at 1016, and the waves are going to be well-shaped. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and the offshore wind means it’ll be glassy. Expect some company though – crowds are possible here.

The run continues Tuesday morning the 21st with a smaller 4.9ft ENE swell, still clean with a cross-off breeze, but the energy drops to 508. Still good, but not as punchy. After that, Wednesday and Thursday tail off into small, weak surf – not worth paddling out.

Friday the 24th brings a change: a new S swell rolls in, 5.9ft but only 8 seconds – short period, so the waves will be a bit fat and close together. Still, Friday afternoon turns glassy with a 5.2ft S swell and 9 seconds, and the energy is 474. That’s a solid session if you’re after a mellow cruise.

But the real standout is Sunday the 26th. Morning sees a 8.2ft S groundswell with a 12-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the southwest. Combined energy is a whopping 3410 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. This is definitely for experienced surfers only; it’ll be too big for beginners. The long period means the sets will be well-spaced and the waves will have plenty of push, especially on this reef. Expect a proper, heavy session. Crowds are possible, but with that size, only the keen will be out.

After that, the swell drops back through the week, with a few more clean mornings – like Tuesday the 28th with a 3.3ft S swell and cross-off breeze – but nothing that matches the 26th. Into the second week, we’ve got a couple of interesting pulses. Saturday the 1st of August shows a 6.9ft S swell, 12 seconds, and cross-off wind, but the window’s a bit marginal. Energy’s at 1198, so it’s solid, but the
