Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Turimetta Beach, with the best conditions stacking up in the mornings. The water’s sitting at a normal 65° for this time of year, so no surprises there. The week kicks off on Thursday the 30th with some serious energy in the water – we’re talking a combined swell energy of 1757 (moderate to strong) – but this one’s for the experienced crew only. Swell is 8 ft from the S with a 10-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze from the WSW. It’s a beauty but big, so if you’re not confident, sit this one out.

Friday the 31st morning is much the same story: 7 ft S swell, 10-second period, 1451 energy, and clean cross-off winds. Another expert-only session with powerful lines. Both afternoons on Thursday and Friday turn choppy with cross-on winds from the SSE, so don’t bother after lunch.

Saturday the 1st of August morning edges back a touch. Swell drops to 5 ft from the SSE, 9-second period, and 493 energy, with light WSW cross-off winds keeping it clean. More manageable for a solid intermediate, but still a bit of grunt. Sunday the 2nd morning is a standout: 6 ft SSE swell, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – proper groundswell with real push. 993 energy and clean northerly cross-off winds. This one will have nice shape and long lines. Point your board towards the reef sections for the best runs.

Monday the 3rd morning is small, just 3 ft SE swell with 11-second period and 247 energy. Clean but marginal. The afternoon cleans right up with offshore WNW winds and only 3 ft – surfable but ordinary. From Tuesday the 4th through to Thursday the 6th, we hit a flat spell. Wave heights drop to 1 ft and 3 ft most days, with very low energy (46-74). Not much to work with.

Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th stay poor – small, messy, cross-shore winds, and energy sitting around 100-265. Not worth a paddle.

Now, Sunday the 9th morning is another cracker. 5 ft SSE swell, 10-second period, 555 energy, and offshore WNW winds at only 6 mph. Glassy, clean, and fun for intermediates. Monday the 10th morning is even better: 6 ft SE swell with an 11-second period, 758 energy, and light NNW cross-off winds. This is the best on offer for the whole outlook – smooth, punchy, and uncrowded if you get in early.

Tuesday the 11th morning keeps it going with 7 ft SE swell, 707 energy, and clean cross-off winds – expert territory again. Wednesday the 12th has the biggest swell of the second week: 8 ft SSE, 797 energy, and true offshore W winds both morning and afternoon. If you’re a strong surfer, this is a proper session. Thursday the 13th morning is blown out with strong WSW winds but the afternoon goes glassy with barely a breath from the SSW, 5 ft and clean. A sneaky good late sesh.

Friday the 14th morning wraps it up with 7 ft S swell, 764 energy, and moderate offshore W winds – powerful and clean for the advanced crew.

Best on offer: Sunday 9th and Monday 10th mornings for the best blend of size, clean conditions, and shape. The longer-period swells (11-12 seconds) on Sunday and Monday will produce the best waves at this beach-and-reef setup – look for the reef peaks. Crowds are possible here, especially on the weekend, so get in early.

Rusty.
