Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The surf has been a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real quality shaping up if you’re patient.

Right now, Tuesday the 7th is a write-off with a lumpy 12 ft south swell and howling cross-shore wind. Not worth paddling out. Wednesday the 8th drops down but stays messy. Honestly, you’re waiting for Thursday morning the 9th – that’s when things clean up.

Thursday morning, July 9th – glassy conditions, light rain, and a nice drop in swell to 6 ft from the SSE. That 10-second period is clean and the water temp is about 65°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual. Turimetta Beach will be looking its best of the week here.

Friday the 10th is small and clean enough but nothing special. By Saturday the 11th, we’ve got a tiny 4 ft from the SE with clean offshore wind – small but fun if you’re on a longboard. The swell energy is really dropping off through the weekend, down to a weak 115 by Sunday morning.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are flat. Essentially a dead period for any real surfing. Just a few ankle-biters if you’re desperate.

Now, look ahead – Wednesday morning, July 15th – a 5 ft south swell with clean cross-offshore wind rolls in. Things are waking up. The energy jumps to moderate levels (632). It’s looking promising.

But the real standout is Thursday morning, July 16th. That’s the one. A solid 8 ft south groundswell with a very long 15-second period, light offshore wind from the WNW. That is serious energy – 2412 in the combined swell energy. This is expert territory: that size and period will unload with real power. Because it’s a long-period groundswell, Turimetta’s reef and beach setup can get a bit straight and thumping, so pick your takeoff zone. If you’ve got the skill, this is the session of the outlook.

Friday the 17th holds at a clean 6 ft from the south, also good. Saturday the 18th is smaller but glassy in the afternoon. Then from Sunday the 19th through Monday the 20th, we’ve got offshore winds and consistent waist-to-chest high waves around 3 to 4 ft – clean, cruisy fun with moderate energy.

Tuesday the 21st drops right back, but Wednesday the 22nd brings a new 6 ft from the SSE with gentle offshore conditions. That’ll be a clean, fun finish to the run.

So, the pick of the whole 16 days is undeniably Thursday morning July 16th – that big 8 ft S groundswell with long period and clean offshore wind. It’s for the experienced crew only. For everyone else, Thursday morning July 9th and Wednesday July 22nd are your clean, user-friendly windows.

Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can always sharpen up, but right now, mark that 16th.

Rusty.
