The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya. Let's look at what's on the cards for the Tuncurry North Wall stretch.
To be honest, the next week and a half is gonna be a real struggle for us paddle surfers. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing but tiny, weak slop. You'll see some days with clean conditions, especially when that offshore wind kicks in from the SW, but the swell just isn't there. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Tuesday the 4th of August, when a bit of SE groundswell bumps the energy up to a moderate 158. Waves will be around 2.6 ft, but it's still very ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The standout moment, and it's the only one I'd really get excited about, comes on Wednesday the 12th of August. That morning, a solid WSW wind is gonna blow straight offshore, making the place look clean as a whistle. The swell is from the ENE, wrapping in at 3.0 ft but with a period of 11 seconds, so there's some decent groundswell energy in the mix. The combined energy hits 217, which is moderate. This is a beach/breakwater setup, so with that longer period, it might offer up some better-shaped lines than usual. The wind is strong at 15.5 mph, so it'll be a challenge, but for the expert crew who can handle a bit of power, it's the best call in the whole forecast. The rest of the run is pretty grim, with onshore winds and building, messy swell that's perfect for the kite crowd but not so much for us.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that Wednesday morning.

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.
