Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Well, it’s been a bit of a rough stretch, but we’ve finally got a light at the end of the tunnel. Turimetta Beach is on the board, but you’ll have to be patient through a pretty ordinary first week-plus. The standout window is lined up for the morning of Friday the 18th, with a shot of clean, lined-up waves.

Right now, Tuesday the 15th is a write-off. That tiny 2ft NE windswell is getting smashed by a cross-onshore SSE breeze, just a messy, choppy affair. Wednesday the 16th is a wild card but not a good one. A big 12ft S swell rolls in, but it’s lumpy and cross-shore, plus the tide might mess with it. That’s a big, raw ocean only for the brave. Thursday the 17th is similar – 10ft to 7ft S swell, still cross-shore in the morning and onshore in the arvo. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 64° for this time of year.

Then we get to the real highlight. Friday morning the 18th – that’s the one to circle. A solid 5ft S groundswell (9-second period) with glassy, dead-calm conditions. That’s pure gold for Turimetta’s beach-and-reef setup. The combined energy is moderate at 557, but the clean surface will make every wave count. This is your best bet, hands down. The wind stays good in the morning, but by the afternoon, a cross-onshore ENE breeze ruins the party.

Saturday the 19th has a cleaner look early with a 3ft S swell and a light offshore WSW breeze, but it’s small. Sunday the 20th drops right off – tiny and messy. Then we hit a long, poor stretch. From Monday the 21st through to the end of the window, it’s mostly cross-onshore or strong, fresh winds with messy, choppy surf. There’s a small highlight on the morning of Friday the 25th – 3ft ENE swell with glassy conditions again – but the energy is weak (153) and the break is inconsistent at the best of times.

For the second week, things look bleak. The swell sticks around in the 3ft to 7ft range, but it’s almost constantly onshore or cross-onshore with moderate to fresh winds. The whole run from the 21st onwards is plagued by poor conditions, with no real standouts. A few intervals of offshore wind pop up on the morning of the 27th, but it’s only a 4ft NE windswell with weak energy (130). Not worth getting excited about.

Overall, the only real standout is that glassy Friday the 18th morning session. The rest of the 16-day outlook is mostly a waiting game, with a lot of onshore chop and lump. Conditions can change, but right now, that one morning is the ticket.

Stay salty,
Rusty
