The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for our little stretch of coast.
We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but don’t you worry – the second half of the outlook is where the real story is. The first week is mostly a write-off with small, messy waves and onshore breezes, but we’ve got a proper pulse of energy building for the final weekend of August and into the very end of the month. That’s the one you want to circle on the calendar.
The first real chance to get wet comes this Saturday morning, the 15th. Turimetta Beach will see a 4ft swell from the south with a period of 9 seconds and light cross-offshore wind. The water is sitting at 62°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (313), and conditions should be clean. It’s not huge, but for a Saturday morning with light rain, it’s a decent option for an intermediate surfer. The afternoon, however, turns ugly – the wind swings onshore, the swell gets a little bigger but messier, and the quality drops right off.
Sunday the 16th is a no-go with tiny, blown-out waves, and that sets the tone for the next few days. Monday through Thursday are all pretty ordinary – small swells, onshore winds, and very little to get excited about. The combined wave energy drops right down, sometimes below 100 (weak). You’d be better off staying home and waxing your board.
Now, things start to look up on Wednesday the 19th. The morning shows a clean 4ft swell from the east-southeast with a light cross-offshore westerly breeze. The energy is moderate (241), and the conditions are clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a few days. Thursday and Friday mornings also offer clean but very small waves – surfable if you’re desperate, but nothing to write home about.
Then we hit the weekend of the 22nd. Saturday afternoon brings a jump in size – 7ft from the south, but with a strong 19 mph cross-shore wind and a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate (430), but the wind will turn it into a lumpy mess. Not recommended for paddling, but if you’re into kite surfing, that setup might look more interesting.
Sunday the 23rd morning is a gem. A clean 4ft south swell with a light offshore breeze and moderate energy (261). The period is 8 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but it’ll be clean and fun for an intermediate. The afternoon gets chopped up again by an onshore breeze, so get out early.
The real standout arrives at the end of the month. Thursday the 27th morning shows an 8ft swell from the east with a moderate cross-shore wind and very strong energy (1772). This is expert territory – too big for beginners. The afternoon pushes 10ft from the east-northeast, still very strong energy (1040), but with a clean offshore wind. This is for experienced surfers only. Friday the 28th is even better: 8–8ft from the east-northeast with moderate offshore winds and very good conditions. The energy is strong (596–628), and the period is short at 7–8 seconds, so it’ll be punchy rather than lined up. This is the best period of the whole outlook. Saturday the 29th continues the run with 7ft from the northeast in the morning and clean offshore winds (684 energy). The afternoon drops slightly to 6ft but stays clean.
By Sunday the 30th, the swell fades to 3–3ft with glassy conditions in the afternoon. It’s a nice way to wind down, but nothing special.
So, if you’ve got one session to chase, make it Friday the 28th or Saturday the 29th. That’s the best swell, the best wind, and the best conditions of the whole 16-day window. The water is cold, the crowds can be around at Turimetta, but for those days, it’ll be worth it.
Rusty.

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.
