The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf around these parts. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing on the cards, so don’t go getting your hopes up for any magic sessions just yet.
We’re talking about Tuncurry-North Wall here. The first real chance of anything even remotely rideable doesn’t show its face until Friday, September 18th. That’s a solid stretch of flat, messy, and blown-out conditions to get through before that. Most of that time we’re looking at tiny, short-period leftovers that just won’t have any push or shape to them.
That Friday morning, we finally get a bit of life. The swell bumps up to around 4ft, coming from the NNE with a weak 6-second period. It’s not going to win any awards, but the wind is glassy offshore and the energy reading hits 158, which is a step up from the weak sauce we’ve been seeing. It’s surfable, but only just. The afternoon jumps up in size to 6ft from the NNE (combined energy at 339), but the onshore wind is going to chop it all up, making it a messy, poor-quality affair. Probably not worth the paddle.
After that little tease, it drops right back down again into the doldrums – tiny waves and onshore winds through the 19th and 20th. Then on Monday the 21st, there’s a little pulse of NE windswell, with the afternoon pushing 6ft at a sloppy 6 seconds, but it's straight onshore and poor.
The only other day that has any glimmer of hope is way out there on Friday, September 25th. The morning shows 4ft of ESE swell with a 7-second period and light cross-off winds. The energy reading is a moderate 194, so there’s a bit more push behind it. It’s still just a “surfable but ordinary” kind of day, and being over a week out, you’d want to keep an eye on it, but it’s probably the pick of a very poor bunch.
Honestly, for the size and setup, and with the north wall being what it is, this whole stretch looks more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers. There’s just not enough quality or size to get excited about. Keep the board in the car, but don’t drive too far.
