Tuncurry-North Wall Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming at Tuncurry-North Wall over the next couple of weeks. This is a beach/breakwater setup, beginner-friendly, and open to swell. Water temp at the start is 67°F – about normal for this time of year.

The surf starts kicking in tomorrow, Tuesday 7 July. We’ll see 4 ft SE swell with a long 14-second period – that’s real groundswell. Combined energy hits 478 (moderate). With a light SW offshore wind in the morning, it’ll be glassy and clean. This is the best session of the whole run. Long gaps between sets make paddling out easy, and the wall should be rippable. The wind shifts onshore later and the swell drops, so get in early.

Wednesday 8 July eases back – 3 ft to 4 ft ESE swell, period 12–14 seconds. Energy stays moderate (210–433). Cross-offshore winds keep it surfable but not as polished as Tuesday. Marginal, but could still give you a couple if you’re patient.

Thursday 9 July serves up a bigger pulse – 8 ft SE swell, 10-second period, energy 999 (strong). That’s serious size for a beginner spot, so experts only. Light cross-off winds at 6 mph keep it clean, but the period is shorter – punchy, less consistent. Beginners stay on the beach.

Friday 10 July stays solid with 7 ft SE swell, 10-second period, energy 816. Winds light – WSW 6 mph cross-off easing to S 3 mph. Clean again, but only for the skilled crowd.

Saturday 11 July drops to 5 ft SE, period 9 seconds – more manageable size. Problem is the wind goes cross-shore then onshore, so not as clean. Energy still moderate at 524. Marginal but might be worth a look.

Sunday 12 July the swell drops to 3 ft ESE. Cross-shore NW wind at 9 mph – some chop. Energy down to 158. Not great.

From Monday 13 July all the way through Tuesday 21 July, it’s mostly flat or tiny – under 1 ft most days, combined energy in the low single or double digits. There’s a brief uptick Saturday afternoon 18 July: 4 ft SE, 9-second period, energy 255 – but it’s a one-off and only “good.” The rest of that second week is a dead zone.

Best session by a mile: Tuesday 7 July morning – 4 ft SE groundswell, 14-second period, light offshore wind. Clean, easy paddling, quality lines. That’s your winner. Thursday 9 July is the big one for experts, but Tuesday takes the cake for overall quality. Crowds are “often” here, so expect company.

After the first week, it’s a long wait. Forecasts can change, but right now the second half looks very thin.

Rusty.
