The Lowdown
G’day folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s on the cards for Turimetta Beach over the next couple of weeks. Now, this stretch is an exposed beach and reef setup, so it needs the right direction to light up properly. The water temp is sitting at a fairly mild 63°, which is feeling just a touch cooler than average for this time of year.
We’re looking at a bit of a shaky start, with the first real opportunity not rolling in until Monday the 14th. That morning, some knee-to-waist high swell from the south, around 2ft, is running with a decent 11-second period. With a light north wind, it’s clean and glassy – a window of fun, user-friendly waves before the afternoon sea breeze ruins it. The wave energy is moderate (274 units), and while the swell is on the smaller side, it’s a chance to get a few.
Tuesday morning the 15th is absolutely not worth paddling for. We get a choppy cross-shore breeze ruining a tiny, messy 3ft swell from the northeast. Wednesday the 16th is a different, intense story – but not a pretty one. A massive 12ft south swell slams in with a solid 10-second period, and the energy is huge (2245 units). The problem is, a strong cross-shore wind is going to make it lumpy, ugly, and dangerous. This is expert-only territory at best, and honestly, with that 18 mph wind across it, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Thursday the 17th still has plenty of size, with 10ft from the south in the morning, but a lighter cross-shore wind keeps it messy. Still a big, challenging surf for the very experienced, but the quality is marginal. Friday the 18th morning is the real standout in this run. The swell has dropped to a much more manageable 5ft from the south, and the wind is dead flat – glassy conditions. This will be clean, fun, and the most inviting surf of the whole outlook. Get on it early, because the afternoon onshore wind will turn it to slop. After that, we hit a long, lean stretch.
From Saturday the 19th all the way through to Tuesday the 29th, it’s a grim picture. Swells get smaller and smaller, dropping to a paltry 0.7ft or 1ft, and when there is a bit of size, the wind is constantly cross-on or onshore, turning every session into a bumpy, choppy mess. There are days where the period is very long, like a 20-second groundswell on Sunday the 20th, but it’s only 1ft tall – not enough juice to do anything. The combined energy drops to weak, single-digit numbers. For over a week and a half, it’s just not worth getting wet unless you’re desperate.
So, in short: grab Monday morning the 14th for some clean little waves, and do not miss Friday morning the 18th – that’s the pick of the bunch with glassy, chest-high surf. After that, park the board for a while and wait for the next system.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
