The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk Tuncurry. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the most part. There’s not much on the cards for a good stretch, but we do get a couple of windows where things might get interesting.
The first real hope shows up on the morning of Tuesday, the 15th. The North Wall will see a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the NNE. The wind is set to be glassy, which is a major positive. The combined energy is moderate at (230) and the 6-second period means it’ll be a bit weak, but for a beginner-friendly spot, those clean conditions will make for some fun, paddle-friendly waves. Don’t expect power, but do expect some playful little runners. That morning is easily the standout of the first few days.
Things then go super flat and small for almost a week and a half. There are waves on paper, but they are tiny—mostly ankle-snappers—with poor wind and onshore slop. It’s a real dry spell from the afternoon of Tuesday, the 15th, right through to the afternoon of Tuesday, the 23rd. You’d be better off doing something else.
The next real chance comes on Saturday, the 26th. By the afternoon, the North Wall is looking at a 6ft swell from the NE, which is getting towards the bigger side for a beginner spot, but the wind is set to be fresh and from the WSW—so clean offshore. The combined energy is strong at (279) and while the period is short at 6 seconds, the offshore wind will hold the faces up. This will be the best wave of the whole forecast. It’ll have some push, but keep an eye on the size if you’re newer to it.
Water temps are about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there.
So, to sum it up: Tuesday morning the 15th for a glassy, small session, and Saturday afternoon the 26th for the best, cleanest, and biggest swell of the run.
Rusty.
