The Lowdown

Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles. Rusty here again.

It’s a quiet stretch for Tuncurry-North Wall over the next 16 days. The first real chance to wet a line doesn’t come until Tuesday, August 11th. From Friday the 7th through Monday the 10th, it’s a total bust. The swell is tiny – 2ft or less – and the wind is all over the place, with a 12 mph onshore blast on Sunday afternoon. The combined energy is weak, barely registering 28 on Friday, and even the 686 on Monday morning comes with a messy, wind-blown 7ft swell. Not worth the effort.

Tuesday morning the 11th is the best of a bad lot. The North Wall is running 3ft from the ENE, with a 9-second period, and a light 6 mph cross-off wind from the WSW. The water temp is 65°, normal for the season. The combined energy is low (106), but it’s clean. It’s surfable, but just barely.

Wednesday the 12th is a mess again, and from Thursday the 13th through Monday the 17th, it’s all under 3ft, even with clean offshore winds. The period is long (10 seconds), but the swell is just a ripple. The energy drops to 20, 37, 19 – basically flat.

Tuesday the 18th morning gives us a 1ft ENE swell, 9-second period, with a clean offshore 9 mph breeze. Still, it’s ordinary. The energy is 56.

Then there’s a break until Thursday the 20th morning: a 3ft E swell, short 6-second period, glassy conditions, but the energy is only 78. Friday the 21st morning has a 4ft NNE swell, period a poor 5 seconds, glassy again, but it’s weak and short-period. The best session is still that Tuesday the 11th morning, but it’s nothing special. The North Wall is a beach/breakwater spot, fairly consistent, but with this lack of size, it’s a longboard day.

Crowds are possible, it’s often got people, but with this quality, you’ll have the place to yourself.

So, no real standouts in the next two weeks. A few clean, small waves mid-week, but nothing to get excited about. Forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Tuncurry-North Wall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
