The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Port Macquarie region over the next few weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty flat and quiet run for the North Breakwall. The ocean's been put on a diet, and there's not much to get excited about for a good stretch. We're looking at a long gap of small, ordinary waves, with the first real chance of anything decent not popping up until the 11th of August. Before that, it's tiny, messy, and blown out.
The water temp is sitting at 67° right now, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout session, and really the only one worth marking on the calendar, is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. The stars finally align a bit. We've got a glassy start with a light NNW breeze, which is a major positive because it'll be clean. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SSE, with a solid 11-second period suggesting some real energy behind it. The combined energy of all swells is a solid 457. That's the best we'll see. It's a bit of a groundswell, so the longer period means better shaped waves, and the offshore wind direction (WSW) is spot on for this break. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is the morning to get out there. Just be aware, it can get crowded here, so expect some company.
After that Tuesday morning, it drops right back off. The rest of the week is all tiny, clean but tiny, with strong offshore winds making for clean conditions but no real wave face. The 20th of August morning shows a tiny pulse of 2 ft from the ENE, but it's still just "surfable but very ordinary". The 21st of August morning is similar, with 3 ft from the ENE. Still nothing to write home about. The afternoon of the 21st sees a bigger energy reading of 326 from a SSE swell, but the wind goes cross-shore and it's a write-off.
So, bottom line: wait for Tuesday the 11th of August morning. That's the shot. The rest of the period is a long, flat spell. It's one of those quiet runs that happens, but the forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
