The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been through the local numbers for Tuncurry-North Wall, and honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. There’s a long gap with hardly any surf to talk about, so don’t rush to wax up yet. The first real chance to score something doesn’t come until Thursday, 20th August. The week before that is all tiny dribble.
For most of this week, the swell is barely up – 1ft to 2ft from the ENE. The water’s sitting at a typical 65°, nothing unusual for the season. A few mornings look clean with offshore breezes, but the waves just don’t have enough height or energy to bother.
Let’s jump to Thursday, 20th August morning. That’s where we finally get a proper window. Tuncurry-North Wall will see 3ft ENE swell, period around 8 seconds, and it’s glassy – dead calm, completely clean. The combined energy reads moderate at 209, so there’s some real push behind it. This is the standout of the whole period. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but with crowds often, you won’t be alone.
Then on Saturday, 22nd August morning, we get another glassy session: 4ft from the ENE, period 9 seconds, with combined energy of 201. That’s another sweet morning for a clean paddle out.
Sunday, 23rd August afternoon is worth noting too – 4ft ENE swell, period hitting 11 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy is 286, which gives those waves some solid grunt. That longer period means better shaped, more powerful waves, but expect longer waits between sets.
Monday, 24th August morning still has a clean 3ft swell, but by Tuesday, it fades back to flatter stuff. So, it’s a lean forecast. If you’re keen, Thursday 20th and Saturday 22nd mornings are your best shots.
Rusty.
