Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at what's on the cards for Turimetta Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We've got a messy start with cross-shore winds and a lumpy, choppy ocean. The swell's there, but it's not clean. Wednesday the 15th has 8ft south swell, but it's cross-shore and the energy is moderate (1059), and the conditions are just marginal. Thursday and Friday are even worse, with poor conditions and the swell dropping. So, we're looking at a gap of a few days before anything worth paddling out for shows up.

The real action starts to build toward the end of the weekend, and there's a standout window that's got me excited. Sunday the 19th morning sees a pulse of 7ft east swell, and while it's still a bit marginal, the wind is light and onshore, so it's a start. But the gem is Monday the 20th. The morning is looking glassy, with a light offshore from the WNW at just 3 mph. We've got a clean 6ft swell from the east-northeast with a solid 10-second period. The energy is still strong (772), and the break is fairly consistent. This is the pick of the first week.

Tuesday the 21st morning is also a good shout with a clean 5ft ENE swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. It's a bit smaller, but still clean. The following Wednesday the 22nd has a small 4ft swell with clean offshore wind, but it's getting smaller.

When we look further out, there's another promising pulse. The water temperature is sitting right on 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

As we head into the second week, the energy picks up again. Saturday the 25th afternoon sees a jump to 8ft south swell, but it's cross-onshore and a bit lumpy. The real standout for the whole outlook, though, is Monday the 27th. The morning is looking absolutely mint. We've got a clean 6ft south swell with a very long 13-second period. That's a proper groundswell, and it's hitting the beach with a light cross-offshore breeze from the southwest. The combined energy is strong (1080), and the forecast says it's excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar – a true standout for the picky crew.

Just remember, that long period south swell (13 seconds) can be a bit too straight for a beach break, so it might be better if you're on a point or reef, but for Turimetta, which is a beach and reef setup, it could still offer some good lines if the sand is right. Crowds are possible here on the good days, so get in early.

So, to sum it up: the first few days are a write-off, then Monday the 20th morning is the first clean session, but the real highlight is the morning of Monday the 27th. It's a long-range call, so less certain, but it's got all the ingredients.

Rusty.
