North wall Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Northwall’s got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a slow burn, with a few windows that’ll get the heart pumping if you time it right.

Saturday the 5th kicks off, but it’s a write-off. Swell is tiny at 2ft from the south, and the wind is only good in the morning when it’s glassy – but with only 121 (weak to moderate energy) behind it, you’re looking at ankle-biters. Afternoon gets nasty with a 16 mph cross-onshore, so don’t bother.

Sunday the 6th is a total dud. Swell drops to 1ft and the wind is all over the place. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 7th sees a pulse of new swell, hitting 5ft from the south with 475 (moderate energy) behind it. Wind is cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean, but the quality is borderline. It's a beach/groyne setup, so that 9-second period won’t do it any favours. Better for beginners, but it’s not gonna be pretty. Afternoon gets lumpy.

Tuesday the 8th is more of the same. Morning has 4ft from the SSE, clean with cross-off wind, and energy at 275 (moderate). It’s rideable but forgettable. Afternoon swell jumps to 7ft, but a cross-shore wind makes it choppy.

Wednesday the 9th – this is your standout moment. Morning glass, dead calm, and a solid 7ft SSE groundswell rolling in with a long 11-second period and 1045 (strong energy). The water temp is about average for this time of year. That’s a combo that’ll have the walls peeling. This is proper experienced-surfer territory – too big for beginners – but the lines will be clean, punchy, and well worth the early alarm.

Thursday the 10th is a write-off. The morning is blown out by 22 mph winds, and the afternoon swell hits 10ft with 1503 (very strong energy). That’s just dangerous at this break, unless you’re a madman.

Friday the 11th offers a decent clean-up. Morning has 7ft from the SSE with a cross-off wind, the energy is 756 (moderate to strong), and the conditions are described as very good. This could be a solid session for intermediates and above, but keep in mind the afternoon drops off to 4ft.

The weekend of the 12th and 13th is disappointing. Swell hangs around 3ft with long period (11 seconds), but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it chunky and unappealing. The water is still about average temp-wise.

Monday the 14th morning – another hidden gem. Glassy conditions, 4ft of SSE swell with a very long 12-second period, and 411 (moderate energy). That’s a groundswell that’ll wrap in nicely at a point setup, but at a beach/groyne it might break a bit too straight. Still, if you get it in the early glass, it’ll be clean and fun for a smaller board. Afternoon ruins it.

From Tuesday the 15th all the way to Saturday the 20th, it’s a long, flat, or blown-out stretch. Swell sits between 2ft and 4ft, winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and energy stays low. There are a few glassy mornings (like Friday the 18th morning) but with only 2ft and 146 (weak energy), it’s barely a ripple.

Honestly, if you want to get wet, aim for Wednesday morning the 9th. That’s the big one. For a quieter, smaller wave, Monday morning the 14th with the glass and long-period swell is your backup.

Stay safe, watch for those bigger days, and I’ll see you out there.

Rusty.
