The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at the run ahead for Turimetta Beach.
This next couple of weeks starts off so-so, with a few mornings worth getting out of bed for, but the afternoons are mostly junk. The standout mornings are Friday the 14th, and then Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th.
Friday the 14th morning is the best early call. Turimetta Beach has clean 4 ft surf out of the south with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. Water temp is 62°, a bit colder than the norm for this time of year. Swell energy is moderate at 302, and while the period is only 9 seconds, the clean conditions make it rideable. The afternoon turns into a mess, so hit it early.
The weekend and start of next week are rough. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are blown out with cross-onshore winds and rain. Swell energy hits 415 to 436, but the wind ruins it. Monday and Tuesday the 17th and 18th have onshore or cross-onshore winds with small, choppy surf – not worth the drive.
Then we get two gems on Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th mornings. Both mornings are glassy – barely any wind. Swell holds around 4 ft from the ESE, period only 7 seconds, so it’s short period and a bit jumbled, but the glassy surface makes it fun for an intermediate surfer. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so don’t be surprised if a few others have the same idea.
Friday the 21st morning still has clean surf with a light offshore from the NW, but the swell drops to about 4 ft. After that, it gets small and weak through the weekend.
Looking further ahead, there’s a big southerly pulse on Sunday the 23rd. Swell jumps to 12 ft with energy over 3700 – strong stuff. But it’s cross-onshore and choppy, so not clean. Then Thursday the 27th sees a massive southerly groundswell with 16 to 18 ft surf, period up to 13 seconds, and energy readings in the tens of thousands. That’s way too big for this break – expert only, with cross-shore winds and heavy chop. Not a paddle-on day unless you’re a charger.
Best bets: Friday the 14th morning, and the two glassy mornings on Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th. After that, it’s either flat, blown out, or dangerously big.
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.
