Turimetta Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Turimetta Beach. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the heart rate up.

First up, the water temp is sitting at about 63°, which is a touch cooler than the usual for this time of year, but nothing to stress about. The opening days are pretty average – Sunday the 9th is clean and surfable, but small, with 3ft of east-northeast swell and not much push behind it. It’s one of those days you’d paddle out just to get wet, not to get barrelled. Monday the 10th brings a jump in size with 7ft on the morning, but the wind is howling offshore at 22 mph, making it tough to get into. The energy does pick up significantly, but there’s power, and it’s a wrestle.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th actually look like the pick of the first week. It drops back to under 3ft, but the swell swings south and the wind is light offshore and clean. The energy is moderate, but with a period around 10-12 seconds, the waves should have some shape. Turimetta is a beach and reef setup, so that longer period swell will be better here than at a straight beachie. This is where you want to be – mornings will be glassy, and you’ll get some fun, clean little runners.

Thursday the 13th is a no-go for the morning, with a short period swell and cross-off wind making it tricky. The afternoon jumps up to 7ft but goes cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth it. Friday the 14th morning is a different story – 5ft of south swell, light offshore wind, and the energy is moderate-to-strong. The comment is “very good surf conditions.” This is your standout. It’ll be clean, with some proper push. Get out there early because the afternoon goes onshore and nearly flat.

From Friday afternoon through Monday the 17th, it’s pretty grim. The swell drops, the wind turns onshore or cross, and the energy falls away. It's a bit of a dead spell, that whole weekend. Tuesday the 18th sees a pulse of 5ft, but it’s short-period east swell with onshore winds, so it’ll be messy and choppy. Not for the paddle surfer.

Now, looking further out, things get interesting again. The period from the 20th to the 23rd is where the real action is. Thursday the 20th morning is the big one – 7ft of east-northeast swell, light offshore wind, and the combined energy is pumping. This is excellent, powerful surf. With that size, it’s for experienced surfers only, not a beginner’s day. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a clean groundswell, but the energy is solid and the wind will have it glassy.

Friday the 21st morning holds similar size with a 10-second period and the same light offshore wind. It’s another very good window, but the afternoon winds pick up onshore. Saturday the 22nd is also looking strong – 7ft in the morning, light offshore, and strong energy. This is a consistent run of proper surf. Sunday the 23rd holds size but the wind picks up, making it more of a challenge. After that, it fades out again with onshore slop.

So, if you want the best of it, your standouts are the mornings of Friday the 14th for a clean, fun-sized day, and then the stretch from the 20th to the 22nd for the bigger, more powerful stuff. Those are the days to clear the calendar. Keep the 14th as the sneaky good one, and the 20th as the main event.

Rusty out.
