The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – we're looking at a pretty tough stretch ahead for the Tuncurry-North Wall (Tuncurry) area. The overall picture is quiet, with very limited options. The water temp is feeling about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
The only real window of opportunity is a brief one. Wednesday morning, the 26th of August, is our standout. We've got a small 5ft swell pushing in from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (215). The wind is glassy from the WNW, so the conditions will be clean. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," and for a beginner-friendly spot like this, it's about as good as it gets. The swell is clean and small, making it a safe bet for a learner session.
After that, it's a long, slow fade. From Wednesday afternoon, the 26th of August, all the way through to Thursday, the 10th of September, the surf is just too small to bother with – mostly 1.0ft to 2ft. The wind windows are often a mess, and the scores are consistently poor. The energy levels drop right off into the double digits, so don't expect any punch.
So, to sum it up: if you're a beginner or just want a few clean, small waves, be on the water Wednesday morning. Otherwise, it's a 15-day stretch of tiny, unrideable surf. The long-range outlook is a desert, but for this area, that kind of blank run happens. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change.
Rusty.
