Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for us.

The next couple of days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real promise later on. The first real highlight is a Saturday that’s got some serious punch to it, and then a Sunday morning that’s clean and peeling. The water temp is sitting right on 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Kicking off on Saturday the 25th, we’ve got a glassy afternoon at Turimetta Beach. The swell is a clean 5 ft from the S with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is moderate (424). The NNE wind is barely a whisper, so it’s looking smooth and inviting. Not a standout, but a nice way to ease into the weekend.

Sunday the 26th morning is where it gets interesting. The swell picks up to 7 ft, also out of the S, with a 11-second period, giving it a bit more grunt (938). The wind is WSW at 6 mph, which is a clean cross-off, so the waves are going to be well-shaped and clean. This is a good window for an intermediate surfer.

Monday the 27th morning is worth a mention. The swell drops to 4 ft from the S, but the wind is WSW at 3 mph, which is true offshore. The energy is light (239), but it’ll be clean and tidy for a quick session.

Now, here’s the big one. Thursday the 30th morning is the standout. The swell is a solid 12 ft from the S with a 11-second period, and the energy is strong (4938). That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is SW at 12 mph, a cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but at 12 ft, this is only for experienced surfers. The setup is a beach and reef, so it’s going to be a powerful, heavy wave. This is the best on offer. Friday the 31st morning is still big at 10 ft from the S, with energy at 1600, but the wind is similar, so if you miss Thursday, Friday morning is still a solid backup for the experts.

Looking further out, Sunday the 2nd of August morning is a treat. The swell is 7 ft from the SE with a very long 12-second period. That’s groundswell, and it’s going to wrap in nicely. The energy is strong (1163), and the NNW wind at 6 mph is a clean cross-off. This one is going to be lined up and clean. It’s a week away, so keep an eye on it, but it’s promising.

The week after that gets a bit messy. A lot of onshore wind and smaller swell, so it’s a blank run from Tuesday the 4th through to Saturday the 9th. There’s a little bump on Wednesday the 5th morning, but it’s messy and cross-off, not really worth getting excited about.

So, the call is: Thursday the 30th morning for the big, powerful stuff, and Sunday the 2nd of August morning for the clean, long-period groundswell. Everything else is just filling in the gaps.

Rusty.
