The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, but there’s some proper action to get excited about if you’re willing to pick your moments.
We start off on Tuesday the 21st at Turimetta Beach. The morning is looking clean and clear with a light northerly breeze, cross-off, and a solid 5 ft swell from the east-northeast. The water’s sitting at 64.4°, which is bang on average for this time of year. There’s moderate wave energy in the water (508) and the sets are at a 10-second period, so there’s some shape to work with. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and the crowds are only sometimes there, so you could score a few without too much hassle. The afternoon turns onshore and messy, so get in early.
Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell drop a little to 4 ft, but the wind swings west-northwest in the morning, light and offshore. That’s clean. The afternoon is the real gem: glassy conditions with an easterly breeze so light it’s barely there, and the swell holds at 3.6 ft from the east-northeast. It’s going to be small but smooth as glass. Not a standout for size, but a lovely session if you’ve got a longboard.
Thursday the 23rd is small and weaker, with the swell around 3 ft and wave energy dropping to 129. The morning wind is west at 15 km/h, offshore, so it’s clean, but the surf is ordinary. Not worth rushing out for.
Now, Friday the 24th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning brings a 7.5 ft south swell with a 10-second period and wave energy is strong (1699). That’s a big jump. The wind is southwest at 15 km/h, cross-off, and the morning is clear. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – it’s going to be powerful and well overhead. The offshore wind will keep it clean. This is the best on offer in the first week. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-on breeze, so again, morning is the call.
Saturday the 25th keeps the south swell going, 5.6 ft in the morning with a longer 11-second period. West wind at 20 km/h, offshore, and clean. This is another very good session, though the swell is a touch smaller than Friday. The afternoon gets windy and marginal.
Sunday the 26th is still a south swell, 4.6 ft and 11-second period, but the wind is cross-off in the morning. It’s clean but not as punchy. The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy.
Monday the 27th sees the swell fade to 3.3 ft from the south, 9-second period. Wave energy is weak (162). Morning wind is offshore, but it’s just ordinary surf. Not worth a special trip.
Tuesday the 28th is flat. The swell drops to 1.6 ft, then 0.3 ft. Wave energy is tiny (42 and then 16). The wind is onshore and messy. This is a gap day – nothing to ride.
Now, Wednesday the 29th is a standout. The morning brings a 9.8 ft south swell at 9 seconds, with wave energy sky-high at 2623. That’s proper heavy stuff. The wind is southwest at 10 km/h, light and cross-off. This is excellent surf, but only for experts. That’s big, powerful, and will be breaking hard. If you’re not solid, stay on the beach. The afternoon sees the same size but with an onshore wind, so it’s bumpy.
Thursday the 30th is still pumping, with a 7.9 ft south swell in the morning, light west-northwest offshore wind, and wave energy at 905. This is very good and a touch more manageable than Wednesday for strong intermediates. The wind stays clean in the morning.
Friday the 31st drops to 4.9 ft from the southeast, 8-second period, and wave energy at 339. The morning wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean but the swell is weaker and shorter period. Not a standout.
Now, Saturday the 1st of August brings a nice surprise. Morning glassy conditions with a 5.2 ft southeast swell, 9-second period, and wave energy at 546. The wind is west at 5 km/h, glassy. This is a very good session for the weekend – clean, fun size, and light winds. It’s the best of the second week.
Sunday the 2nd sees a drop to 3.9 ft with rain showers. The wind is cross-off in the morning, but the swell is small. The afternoon turns onshore and messy.
From Monday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 5th, the surf fades steadily. The swell drops from 4.3 ft to 1.3 ft, wave energy falls to 70, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. The morning of the 5th has a 1.6 ft swell with a light offshore wind, but it’s barely surfable. There’s a real gap in quality here – several days of poor to flat conditions.
So, the standout windows are: Friday the 24th morning for the biggest, cleanest swell of the first week, and Wednesday the 29

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.
