The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk Turimetta Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 13th is a write-off – a tiny 3ft south swell but a nor-easterly breeze messes it up, and it gets real choppy in the arvo. Monday the 14th morning gives you a clean 2ft south swell with a light northerly cross-off wind, but it’s tiny and nothing special. The first few days are quiet, with only small, ordinary waves.
Then it gets serious. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th bring a big south swell, running 10ft to 13ft, but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, and the energy is pumping hard – strong and powerful. That size with onshore wind in a beach and reef setup is just a mess. Only for experts or kite-surfers.
The standout is Friday the 18th morning. We’ve got a clean 4ft south swell, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm, with a light vapour off the water. The combined energy is solid, and that 8-second period keeps the waves a bit more user-friendly. This is a beauty window for an intermediate surfer. Turimetta Beach is exposed to the south, and with that light offshore wind from the north-west, the waves will be smooth. You’ll have a good session before the sea breeze hits later.
Saturday the 19th morning is another good one: 3ft from the east-southeast with a 5 mph offshore wind from the west-northwest, and an 11-second period giving you nice, pushy waves. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean and fun.
The second week gets patchy. Sunday the 20th offers tiny 1ft to 1ft waves with clean offshore winds – a longboard day. There’s a pulse on the 22nd with 8ft south swell, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. The real second-week highlight is Saturday the 26th morning: 5ft from the north-east with a light north-north-west cross-off breeze, clean faces. But the north-east swell doesn’t match the optimum direction for this spot, so it might be a bit weird.
Water temps are about average for this time of year.
Overall, Friday 18th morning is the pick – glassy, clean, and a solid size. Saturday 19th morning is a close second. After that, there’s a few average days and another clean window on the 26th, but that’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
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.
