G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Tuncurry-North Wall is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with only a few tiny, ordinary moments that would barely get a grommet out of bed. The pattern is dominated by very small swell and poor conditions, and there’s a significant gap where you can leave the boards in the shed.

The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year at 68°, nothing to write home about.

We start off Friday afternoon July 3rd with a tiny 1.0ft NE windswell, period just 7 seconds – weak energy (96). Wind is cross-off from the WSW at 16 mph, keeping it clean but it’s poor surf – honestly, not worth the paddle. Saturday morning July 4th gets smaller at 0.5ft, with a glassy offshore SW breeze at 3 mph, but the swell’s barely there. Saturday afternoon does offer a glimmer: 0.4ft from the E, but here’s the kicker – period jumps to 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, giving it shape well above its size, and combined energy is only 63. Wind is a light cross-off from the SSE at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary, and the crowds are often around here, so don’t expect any peace. That 0.4ft with 12 seconds will have long gaps between sets at this beach/breakwater setup – keep your eyes on the horizon. That Saturday morning is the pick, with that 3 mph offshore and clean lines, but you’re chasing shadows at 0.5ft.

From there, it’s a downhill slide. Sunday July 5th through to Thursday July 9th sees a mix of 0.2ft to 0.7ft waves, mostly with fair to moderate offshore winds, but the energy is weak (mostly under 125). The 7th and 8th are dead flat or next to it. The 9th of July Thursday morning bumps up a touch with 0.7ft from the ESE at 12 seconds, giving moderate energy (125), and clean offshore WSW at 12 mph – it’s surfable but still very ordinary. After that, we hit a real dry spell.

From Friday July 10th all the way through to Wednesday July 15th, it’s virtually flat. Zeros across the board for swell height and energy. You’re looking at a solid 5-day gap with nothing to ride. The wind stays offshore and clean, but there’s no wave to push you. Thursday July 16th offers a pathetic 0.1ft from the E at 8 seconds – forget it. Friday July 17th sees a bit of energy from a southerly change, but it’s 22 mph winds and 0.1ft.

The only real standout, and I use the term loosely, is that Saturday afternoon July 4th. A tiny 0.4ft wave with a 12-second period will give you some surprisingly fun little runners if you’re on a longboard and you’re patient. Wind is light and clean. But it’s weak energy (63) and it’s not going to set anyone’s world on fire. The Saturday morning just before that, with 0.5ft and glassy offshore, is the other faint flicker. Pick your moment, keep expectations low, and maybe bring the kite gear because this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session on those days with any puff of wind.

Rusty.

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. Our Tuncurry-North Wall surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tuncurry-North Wall) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
