The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for Turimetta Beach.
The start of the period is dead quiet, flat and sloppy for a long while. But there’s a real spike in swell right at the end of the 16-day window that’ll get the blood pumping, especially for the experienced crew.
Tuesday 18th August – forget it. A weak, short-period 4ft ESE swell, cross-onshore wind, combined energy is only 211 – that’s weak sauce. Water temp is 63°, about 1° cooler than average, so nothing unusual.
Wednesday 19th August morning is the only early bright spot. Glassy conditions with a 3ft ESE swell, but it’s still weak at 7 seconds and energy of 189. The offshore NW wind cleans it up perfectly, so it’s surfable, just small. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so don’t expect total solitude.
From Thursday 20th through Sunday 30th August it’s a long, flat, frustrating stretch. Tiny waves, often choppy, with a few clean moments on Friday 21st afternoon and Saturday 29th morning, but you’ll be scratching for anything rideable. This kind of dry spell is normal enough for the area, but it’s still a grind.
Now, lock in Monday 31st August. This is the standout. A solid 8ft to 8ft south swell rolls in with a 10-second period and serious power – energy jumps from 1086 to 2487 in the afternoon. That’s strong. Wind goes offshore from the WNW, moderate and clean. This is strictly for experts – over 8ft is too big for beginners. The south direction suits the break’s optimum ESE exposure, so expect good shape. This is the day to circle on the calendar.
Tuesday 1st September morning still has size – 12ft from the south, offshore wind, energy 2194 – but it’s pushing into the too-big-for-most zone. Only for the bold. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.
Wednesday 2nd September sees a drop to 7ft to 8ft from the south/south-southeast, but the wind goes light cross-onshore, and energy stays high at 1492 to 2498. Tides might mess with it, so it’s not as clean as Monday.
Bottom line: Monday 31st August at Turimetta Beach is the pick. Big south swell, clean offshore breeze, heaps of power. Get after 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.
