The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: this is a pretty flat run. For a spot like Tuncurry-North Wall, a beach/breakwater setup that’s exposed to the swell, it’s a real quiet stretch. We’re talking a solid week and a half where the surf is just too small to get excited about. From Thursday morning, August 27th, through to the following Tuesday, September 1st, the swell is tiny – mostly 0.4ft to 0.7ft – and the wind is a mess. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 65 (51 to 65), so you’re looking at dribbly, poor conditions. There’s a few mornings with glassy or offshore wind, but the swell is just too small to make it worthwhile. Not a single standout in that first week.
The window opens up a little on Thursday, September 3rd. That afternoon we get a glassy calm with 0.5ft easterly swell at 10 seconds. The energy is still modest (72), but it’s surfable. It’s nothing special, but if you’re desperate, you could get a few knee-high runners. The best of the whole outlook, if you can call it that, shows up on Saturday, September 5th, in the morning. It’s dead calm, glassy, with 0.4ft of east-northeast swell at 10 seconds. The combined energy is 65 – still weak – but that glassy wind is the only real positive. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The last real chance is on Friday, September 11th, in the morning. Another glassy start with a 0.8ft north-northeast swell, but the period is short at 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit messy and weak (73 energy). It’s surfable, but ordinary.
Bottom line: there’s no standout day here. The swell is too small, the wind is often wrong, and the energy is weak. If you’ve got a longboard and patience, the glassy mornings on September 3rd, 5th, or 11th are your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. The break is fairly consistent here, so it won’t stay this way forever.
Rusty.

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.
