The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, mate, I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a massive run of flat, poor surf ahead. The first real hopes are a long way off, and we’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is tiny, weak, and the winds are mostly messy or onshore. Don’t bother checking the charts until we get past the first week of September.
The water temp at Tuncurry-North Wall (Tuncurry) is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – no surprises there.
The only faint glimmer in the whole window shows up on Sunday, 6th September. The morning has a bit of a pulse, with a 3 ft swell from the NE but it’s a short, weak 6-second period. The combined energy is only 81 – weak. Wind is light cross-on from the north, so it’s not clean. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 6 ft from the NE but the period is still just 6 seconds, and the wind turns onshore from the ESE. Energy picks up to 281, but it’s messy, choppy, and not going to be any fun for a paddle surfer. If you’re into kiting, it might be worth a look, but for surfing, it’s a pass.
The rest of the week after that is all 1 ft to 1 ft dribble. Even when the wind goes offshore on Tuesday 8th afternoon, there’s just no swell to work with. A run like this is pretty normal for the area when we’re between seasons, so don’t stress – it’ll turn around eventually.
Honestly, keep the board in the car for a walk, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.
