Alright, let me break down what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks for Tuncurry-North Wall. This is a beach and breakwater setup, and to be honest, it’s going to be pretty quiet for a while. The first few days bring tiny, poor surf with messy winds. You’re looking at a real slow start. Come Wednesday the 8th, things finally turn around – we’ve got a proper window of good conditions. Offshore winds and a solid ESE swell building in. That’s the standout. After that, it drops off again with some small windows, but nothing that’ll have you rushing for your wetsuit.
Right, let’s start at the beginning. Saturday the 4th kicks off with a weak 2 ft swell from the NE, combined energy of just 23 – that’s weak stuff. Winds are offshore though, WSW at 3 mph, clean, but the surf is just poor. Afternoon’s a touch better, 1 ft from the E but period bumps to 12 seconds, giving it a bit of shape, and energy ticks up to 58. Still, very ordinary. Sunday the 5th is written off – 1 ft ENE swell with strong SSW winds at 12 mph, and rain showers making it a write-off. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are pretty much the same story – tiny, weak, and not worth paddling out for.
But then we hit Wednesday the 8th. That’s the only real highlight in the whole outlook. Morning brings 3 ft swell from the ESE, period of 14 seconds – nice long groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 265, that’s moderate energy and feels solid. Winds are WSW at 12 mph and offshore. Water temp is about 68° with a slight positive anomaly of 1° – so a touch warmer than average for July. That cleaner, proper offshore wind will have it looking really clean. This is the one that stands out. It’ll offer the best shaped waves, longer lulls between sets, and a bit of punch for a point and breakwater setup like this. Afternoon holds up with 3 ft and offshore SW winds at 16 mph, energy 237.
Thursday the 9th – morning drops right back to 1 ft and weak energy. Afternoon recovers a bit with 5 ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, energy 347, and gentle offshore winds from the SW at 9 mph. Clean, but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and sectiony. Not terrible, but not a stand out.
After that, it goes dead again. From Friday the 10th right through to the end of the first week of July, there’s basically nothing. A few tiny pulses of 0.7 ft to 2 ft, poor surf, often losing swell completely. The combined energy barely hits 100. Winds become cross or onshore too often. There’s a little spit of 4 ft on Thursday the 16th from the SE with 7-second period – energy 160 – but that’s a short period, wind swell with offshore SW winds. Surfable but average, definitely not for beginners as it’s over 3 ft.
Beyond that, the outlook fades again into nothing. Sunday the 19th morning has glassy conditions, WSW at 3 mph, but zero swell. Totally flat.
If you’re going to try and get wet, your best bet is Wednesday the 8th. The offshore winds, the moderate energy, and the longer period ESE groundswell are the best combo you’ll see in this forecast. That’s the one. After that, you’ll be hunting small windows and hoping forecasts shift for the better. As for crowds, Tuncurry-North Wall can get busy, so keep that in mind.
