The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, mate, it’s a pretty lean stretch for Tuncurry-North Wall. This is a beach/breakwater setup that’s exposed to the swell, but the energy just isn’t lining up. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile for the first several days, and then a few flickers of something that might get you wet, but it’s nothing to write home about.
The first real chance you’ll have to paddle out is on Saturday afternoon, September 5th. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NNE, but the period is a short, crumbly 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and fat. The magic here is the wind – it goes glassy. That’s a big win for clean conditions, even if the waves themselves are ordinary. The combined energy is moderate at 185, so there’s a bit of push, but it’s not going to be world-class.
Then you’ve got another long gap with nothing surfable until Saturday, September 12th, when the swell picks up to 4 ft from the NE again, but the period is a poor 5 seconds and the wind is onshore from the NE at 16 mph. The energy is moderate at 107, but it’s going to be messy. More of a kite session than a paddle session, I reckon.
The next notable one is on Monday afternoon, September 14th. The swell is 4 ft from the NE with a 5-second period, but the wind swings offshore from the WSW at 16 mph. The energy is moderate at 90, so it’s rideable, but the short period makes it a bit jumbled. The offshore wind is a plus, though.
If you’re looking for the best of a bad bunch, I’d put my money on Saturday afternoon, September 5th. That glassy wind and 4 ft swell is the best you’ll see. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean. The rest is just waiting for a better system.
