Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s happening at Turimetta Beach.

Well, it’s a bit of a slow start for the next couple of days. Wednesday and Thursday morning are pretty flat, with only tiny dribbles around 0.7ft from the south. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is bang on average for this time of year, nothing wild there.

Things start to wake up properly on Thursday morning the 30th. We’ve got a solid 6ft south swell rolling in with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 621. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WSW – that’ll keep it clean. It’s a bit of a standout for the early period, solid fun for intermediates. That afternoon the wind swings cross-on and it gets choppy.

Friday the 31st sees a similar 7ft south swell, but the morning wind is cross-shore, so it’s a bit average. Not the best.

Now, Saturday the 1st of August is a real highlight. Morning brings a clean 5ft south swell with light offshore west winds, glassy conditions. Combined energy is 505 – moderate, but the quality from the clean wind makes it a top pick. The afternoon turns a bit choppy again.

Sunday the 2nd is another cracker. Offshore north wind in the morning, cross-off, with a 5ft south-southeast swell at a longer 12-second period. That’s a nice groundswell pulse, energy at 614, clean as a whistle. Best on offer for the week ahead.

Monday and Tuesday the 3rd and 4th drop right off, small and weak. Winds stay okay, but the swell just isn’t there.

Then Wednesday the 5th through Friday the 7th of August bring back a consistent run of 5ft to 6ft south swells. The mornings have light cross-off or offshore winds, keeping it clean – good fun, but nothing stand-out compared to Saturday and Sunday.

Heading into the second week, Saturday the 8th looks a bit messy with onshore winds. Sunday the 9th has a cleaner morning with a 3ft east-southeast swell at a long 12-second period, combined energy 410, but a bit small.

The real bonanza comes on Wednesday the 12th of August. Glassy conditions with an 8ft south swell, period 11 seconds, and combined energy shooting up to 1393 – that’s strong energy. This is big, powerful surf, only for experienced surfers. Thursday the 13th is even bigger with an 12ft south swell (energy 2212), but the wind is stronger offshore, so it’ll be big and clean but only for the brave. These are big, powerful swells, so keep that in mind.

Overall, the first half of the outlook has Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of August as the real standouts for clean, fun waves. The second half has a powerful, more serious swell window around Wednesday and Thursday the 12th and 13th. There’s a gap of a few flat days early on.
