The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. This stretch is mostly flat or average, but there’s one proper day that’s worth chasing.
At Turimetta Beach, the first decent window is Wednesday morning, August 12th: clean, 4ft swell from the south (10 seconds), with a light offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (329). The water’s a touch colder than usual at 63°, so a wetsuit is a must. That morning is your first real chance.
After that, it goes downhill. Thursday the 13th is still clean with 4ft south swell, but the period drops to a weak 7 seconds, and it’s not going to hold. Thursday afternoon turns onshore and messy, and the whole weekend is blown out with rain and cross-onshore winds. Not worth it.
There’s a long gap of poor to ordinary conditions until Wednesday the 19th. That morning goes glassy with 4ft of east-southeast swell, but only 7 seconds – surfable, but nothing special. Thursday the 20th is also glassy with 4ft from the east, still very ordinary.
Saturday the 22nd gives you a clean 3ft from the east-northeast on the morning offshore. Okay, but nothing to write home about. Then Sunday the 23rd morning bumps up: 4ft from the east-northeast, a better 10-second period, light offshore wind, and the combined energy climbs to 301 – moderate but solid. That whole day cleans up.
Now the standout. Circle Thursday the 27th. The morning serves up 6ft of northeast groundswell (7 seconds) with a clean offshore breeze from the west-northwest. Combined energy hits 529 – strong. And the afternoon is even better: still 6ft, but the period stretches to 8 seconds and the energy jumps to 767, with the same clean offshore wind. This is the best wave of the whole forecast. Intermediates will love it, but the size makes it a solid step up. Turimetta can draw a crowd sometimes, so expect some company if you want the best peaks.
Everything before the 27th is mostly filler. That Thursday is the real deal.
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.
