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.

Information about the Tuncurry-North Wall Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tuncurry-North Wall provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tuncurry-North Wall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tuncurry-North Wall may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
