North wall Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Northwall. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, so we'll need to pick our moments.

First up, we've got a nice little window starting Sunday, the 2nd of August. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there. The morning is looking clean with a 5ft swell from the SSE, a 9-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind from the S at 3 mph. Wave energy is moderate (652). It’s not the biggest swell, but it’s well-shaped for Northwall and the conditions are prime. That morning session is the standout of the whole forecast—clean, consistent, and just good fun.

Monday the 3rd morning is also promising with a similar 5ft swell from the SE, but this time with a longer 11-second period and a glassy offshore wind from the WSW at 3 mph. The energy is still solid (651). This is another top pick for a dawn patrol.

After that, things get a bit small and messy. The swell drops right off, with heights under 3ft from Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the week. The energy drops to weak levels (around 130-164), and while there are a few clean mornings with light offshore winds, the waves are just too ordinary to get excited about.

We’ll see a small bump of 3ft swell from the E on the 9th and 10th, but the wind is all over the place. The 10th has a strong offshore from the W at 16 mph that cleans things up, but the swell is still only 3ft with a 9-second period, so it’s more of a fun-size session for a longboard or a fish.

The next real highlight doesn’t come until Sunday the 16th of August. The morning session shows a 3ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, but the energy jumps up to 227, which is moderate. The kicker is that light offshore WSW wind at 9 mph, keeping things glassy and clean. The conditions are described as "good surf conditions," so mark that one in the calendar. It’s still a solid week and a half away, so the forecast could change, but it’s looking like a decent option.

Overall, the best sessions are hands down Sunday the 2nd morning and Monday the 3rd morning. After that, it’s a lot of waiting for smaller, cleaner windows. The long gap from the 4th to the 15th is mostly a write-off with small surf, so don’t get your hopes up for a proper paddle until that 16th.

Stay patient, check the forecasts, and get out there when the wind is right.

Rusty.
