The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve run the numbers for Tuncurry-North Wall over the next 16 days, and it’s a tough watch. The beach/breakwater is exposed to whatever swell is coming, but we’re in a proper flat spell. The first real opportunity to surf doesn’t pop up until Sunday, September 6th. That’s more than a week of nothing worth talking about from now.
From Saturday, August 29th, through Saturday, September 5th, it’s all under 2 ft—mostly 1.0 ft to 2 ft—with combined swell energy barely hitting 100 (41 to 27). The swell direction is ENE, but the size is a joke. Winds are all over the place, but we get a couple of glassy mornings, like Monday, August 31st and Friday, September 4th. Problem is, the waves are so small you’d be floating. Water temp is 66°, right on average for this time of year with a -0.3° anomaly. Nothing special.
The only standout is Sunday morning, September 6th. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the NE, with an 8-second period and moderate energy at 167. The wind is cross-off from the S at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but the conditions are still called “very ordinary.” That short period means it won’t have much push, but for a beginner-friendly spot, this is your best bet across the whole 16-day window. After that morning, it drops back to junk and flat days from September 8th to 10th.
So, keep your eye on that Sunday, September 6th morning. It’s the only real chance for a paddle. Everything else is a write-off. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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 Tuncurry-North Wall 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.
