The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Alright, let’s be straight with you — this stretch is gonna be a long, quiet one for the most part. We’re looking at Tuncurry-North Wall, a beach/breakwater setup that’s beginner-friendly and fairly consistent, but the waves are going to be small for a good while. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is about 1° cooler than normal for this time of year, so pretty average — nothing you’d need a 5/4 for.
The first real chance at anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday the 13th of August. That morning, we’ve got a 4ft swell out of the NE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 231. The wind is offshore from the SW at 9 mph, keeping things clean. It’s not a huge swell, but it’s the standout of the whole forecast — clean, rideable, and really the only morning that’s worth getting excited about. The swell direction is NE, which is close to the optimum NE direction for this spot, so it should line up alright. Keep in mind this break is exposed, so that NE swell will hit it straight on. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect an empty lineup.
Before that Thursday morning, it’s mostly tiny surf — under 2ft most days — with glassy conditions on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, but only 1ft, so barely a ripple. The morning of Saturday the 8th of August has a glassy 2ft NE swell, but the energy is weak at 85, and it’s just not enough to get excited about. There’s a gap of nearly a week and a half of tiny, poor surf before Thursday the 13th.
After that Thursday morning, the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August drops back down to 1ft to 2ft, so it’s back to the same small stuff. The morning of Monday the 17th of August has a 2ft E swell with offshore wind at 9 mph, but it’s still small, just a knee-high dribbler. The morning of Tuesday the 18th of August is glassy with a 2ft E swell, period 11 seconds, and energy is moderate at 112, but again, it’s small.
If you’ve got a log or a foamie, the Thursday the 13th morning is your best bet. The rest of the window is pretty flat. For paddle surfing, it’s a struggle. Some of those breezy afternoons with 4ft and stronger wind might actually look better for kite surfing than for a paddle board.
Rusty.
