Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turimetta Beach over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Turimetta Beach. There's a classic pattern here – a bit of a dud start, a serious lull, then a proper pulse of energy that'll get the blood pumping. Patience is the key.
The week starts on Friday, July 10th with some solid, rideable waves. We've got a clean 1.8m from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is sitting at that moderate 573 mark. It gets even better in the afternoon – the sea turns glassy, flat calm. That's a major positive. A 1.6m SE swell with moderate energy (543) and zero wind equals clean, peeling lines. This is your best bet for the first block.
Saturday the 11th drops off significantly. The morning has a cleaner 0.9m from the ESE with a 12-second period (nice long groundswell, but it's small), but the afternoon gets a bit chopped up with a cross-shore breeze. Sunday the 12th sees the swell drop to 0.7m then 0.5m, but the wind turns offshore on Sunday arvo, making for clean, tiny waves.
Then we hit a proper flat spell. From Monday the 13th right through to the end of Wednesday the 15th, the swell reading barely budges from 0.2m. There's nothing to ride, with energy readings in the single digits. A few days of dead flat conditions.
Now, things get interesting, but only for the experts. On Wednesday the 15th, a big southerly swell starts to show, hitting 3.0m in the morning (short 8-second period) with moderate-strong energy of 1208. It builds to 3.5m by the afternoon. However, the wind is cranking at 30 km/h from the south-southwest, making it a messy, lumpy cross-shore. This is well over 2.5m – big, powerful, and strictly for skilled surfers.
Thursday the 16th is similar, just bigger. We're looking at 3.5m in the morning and a massive 4.5m by the afternoon from the SSE. The combined energy is through the roof at 4069. But it's still cross-shore and messy. The forecast warns it's simply too big for this break. Friday the 17th is even larger, touching 5.5m (8866 energy) with a 12-second period. Monstrous, dangerous swell, and the wind is turning cross-onshore. This is big-wave territory only, and the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The size backs off on Saturday the 18th, still at 5.5m in the morning but with a clean cross-offshore wind. It's still too big for a sensible paddle.
Circle Sunday, July 19th. This is the standout. The swell drops to a heavy but manageable 3.0m from the SSE with an 11-second period. The energy is a strong 2011. Most importantly, the wind swings to a crisp NNW cross-offshore breeze. For experienced surfers, this is the window. Big, powerful SE groundswell with clean, offshore lines. A quality session.
Monday the 20th is the pick if the big stuff is too much. The swell drops to a very surfable 1.8m from the SE with a 10-second period. The wind goes offshore (WNW) with a gentle breeze, making for clean conditions. The energy is still a solid 676. A great, fun-sized day.
After that, it drops off quickly. Tuesday the 21st is small and ordinary, and from the 22nd through the 24th it's back to flat, poor conditions.
We have a late long-range standout for Saturday, July 25th. It's a bit far out, so treat it as promising but not locked in, but it's showing a clean 3.5m groundswell from the south with a long 12-second period and a light offshore wind. The energy is a massive 3587. If this holds, it's a proper day for experienced surfers only.
To sum it up: this week, Friday the 10th is your only real chance for a clean, fun wave. Next week, hold out for Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th for the best of the size. The 25th is one to keep an eye on.
Rusty.

Information about the Turimetta Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Turimetta Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Turimetta Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
