The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Turimetta Beach – a beach and reef setup that’s exposed to the south-east. There’s a bit of a slow start, but the good stuff builds through the week.
The first real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, 5th September. It’s small, with 2ft southerly swell, but the wind is cross-off from the north, keeping things clean. Wave energy is moderate (111). Not a standout, but a start.
Saturday afternoon picks up a notch – 4ft from the north-northeast but with a short period of 5 seconds, so it’s going to be lumpy. The offshore north-west wind helps though, and energy is moderate (203). It’s rideable, but not special.
Sunday 6th is a write-off. Small, messy, and cross-onshore winds – don’t bother.
Monday morning 7th September is where it gets interesting. The swell pushes to 5ft from the south with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat. Wave energy is moderate to strong (344). This is your best bet for the early part of the week, and it’ll be clean. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Monday afternoon goes onshore, so the morning session is the one.
Tuesday 8th brings bigger swell – 8ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, both from the south-southeast. The period stretches to 9 seconds in the morning and 11 seconds in the afternoon. Energy is strong (872 in the morning, 1310 in the afternoon). This is getting into expert territory – over 8ft means it’s only for the experienced. Winds are cross-shore, so there’ll be some chop. It’s a powerful, chunky day, but not clean.
Wednesday 9th morning is a solid option – 5ft from the south-southeast, cross-off south-west wind, and clean conditions. Energy is moderate (325). Much more user-friendly.
Wednesday afternoon gets hammered by a strong southerly breeze – messy and onshore. Leave it.
From Thursday 10th through to the end of the 16-day window, the pattern is a mix of marginal conditions and small surf. There’s a long stretch from Thursday morning to Monday 14th of south swell in the 4ft to 8ft range, but with cross-shore or cross-onshore winds and a lot of chop. Not great for a relaxed paddle.
Sunday 13th afternoon has a 6ft south swell with a 13-second period, which is a nice long groundswell, but the wind is cross-onshore, and the energy is strong (1164). It’s better suited to a point break or reef, but with the wind, it’s messy here.
The standout of the whole forecast is Monday morning 7th September – that glassy, 5ft south swell. It’s clean, it’s got enough push, and the crowd is possible with it being “sometimes” busy. The optimum swell direction for Turimetta is east-southeast, and this south swell is close enough to work.
The only other one worth a mention is Tuesday 15th September morning – 3ft from the south-southeast, light cross-off wind, and clean. Small but tidy.
There’s a gap from Thursday 10th through to Monday 14th where the surf is mostly marginal or messy, and then it tails off toward the end of the second week with small, poor conditions. The second week is a bit of a dud overall.
Stay sharp, and get out there Monday morning.
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. Our Turimetta Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Turimetta Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
