The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the Tuncurry-North Wall stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the water is sitting at 65°, which is just about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The forecast starts with a bit of a flat spell. Sunday the 9th is a write-off – small, weak waves and a light cross-onshore breeze makes for poor conditions. That carries on through the middle of the week, with waves staying under 3 feet and the energy real low. There’s a glimmer Tuesday afternoon with a light offshore, but only 3ft of swell and 104 units of energy means it’s marginal at best. We’ve got a long stretch of small, ordinary surf until the real action shows up.
The standout window is Monday the 10th. Early morning, we’ve got a solid 8ft NE swell rolling in with a period of 9 seconds and a strong 1064 units of energy – that’s a lot of power. The wind is offshore from the west, keeping things clean. This is excellent surf, but at that size, it’s for experienced surfers only. The swell direction isn’t bang on the optimum NE, but it’s close enough to get the wall working nicely. The afternoon does get chopped out by a NW cross-breeze, so get in early.
Looking further ahead, there’s another promising pulse around Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th. Tuesday morning has 6ft of SSE swell, 10-second period, and 710 units of energy, with a clean offshore from the SSW. That’s a solid session for the more experienced crew. Wednesday morning looks similar – 6ft from the ESE, clean with a SW offshore, and strong energy (837 units). The longer period on the Tuesday (10 seconds) will give those waves a bit more shape and punch, ideal for the wall.
The very end of the run, Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd, looks fun. Saturday morning is glassy with 6ft NE swell and 440 units – clean, head-high, and user-friendly. Sunday morning is also glassy, 5ft from the ENE, and a touch longer period at 10 seconds. These are solid options for a wider range of surfers, not just the experts.
Through the whole period, this spot is fairly consistent, and it can get crowded often, especially on the good days. The north wall setup is exposed and picks up a lot of that east in the swell, so when it’s on, it’s on.
Rusty.
