Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on what’s shaping up for Turimetta Beach over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but by the end, there’s some serious potential brewing. The first few days are a mixed bag, so don’t rush out just yet.

The standout window kicks off properly on Saturday morning the 25th of July. Swell’s coming in at a solid 6 feet out of the south with a decent 11-second period, and the wind is blowing offshore from the west. That combo is giving us very clean, lined-up waves. The water temp is sitting at a pretty average 65°, nothing unusual there. Combined swell energy is moderate at best (790), but the quality is what matters. This is about as good as it gets for the start of the run.

Sunday morning the 26th is another cracker. The swell bumps up to 7 feet out of the south, still with an 11-second period, and we’ve got a cross-offshore wind from the WSW. It’s clean, punchy, and the energy climbs to 921. This is the best session on offer for the first week. If you’re an intermediate or above, this is your window.

Unfortunately, things fizzle out after that. Monday through to the end of the month are mostly flat or choppy, with messy onshore winds and small, weak swell. There’s a big gap in quality surf until we hit Monday the 3rd of August. That morning, the swell comes back to life with a solid 7 feet out of the south, but the period is short (8 seconds), so expect a bit of a crumbly, less powerful wave. Still, with a clean offshore from the WNW and combined energy of 681, it’s rideable and fun.

Tuesday the 4th of August brings a shift in direction – swell from the ESE at 6 feet, still short period, but clean in the morning. The real treat comes on Wednesday the 5th. The morning has a 6 feet ESE swell with clean offshore winds, and then in the afternoon it goes dead glassy – zero wind, from the WNW. That afternoon session is going to be silky smooth. Energy sits around 452. It’s not huge, but for quality, it’s hard to beat.

Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August still offer decent waves, with swell around 4-5 feet, but the wind gets a little tricky. Friday morning, though, is a beauty with a clean cross-offshore breeze and a 4 feet easterly swell. Energy climbs to 553.

After that, the weekend fades again. Saturday the 8th is a write-off with messy onshore wind, and Sunday the 9th has a fresh offshore breeze but the swell is small and mixed up.

So, to sum it up: your best bets are the Saturday morning 25th and Sunday morning 26th of July for the first week, and then the Wednesday 5th of August afternoon for a glassy, clean session. If you can wait, the 5th is the hidden gem.

This is Rusty, signing off.
