G’day, Rusty here, looking at the surf over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a bit of a slow start, but we’ve got a genuine standout coming Thursday morning that’s worth blocking out time for.
The first real surf shows up on Tuesday, 7 July, with a clean 3.3ft swell from the SE at a solid 14-second period. The water’s sitting at 67.5°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (387). The wind is offshore from the SW, so the North Wall at Tuncurry-North Wall will be looking clean and lined up. That said, it’s a beginner-friendly break, and it’s fairly consistent, so it’s a good option for a paddle. Tuesday afternoon turns messy with rain showers and a cross-off wind, so the morning is your window.
Wednesday, 8 July, sees a similar story – morning clean 3.3ft ESE swell (347) with a gentle cross-off breeze, but it’s not a massive upgrade. The afternoon picks up a bit to 4.3ft (481), but the wind is cross-off and the report says it’s only marginal, so don’t get too excited.
Now, the real standout. Thursday, 9 July morning. This is the one. We’ve got a solid 7.5ft SE swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy kicks up to 1076 – that’s strong wave energy, lads. The wind is light and offshore from the SW, so it’s going to be clean and punchy. The report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s no joke – 7.5ft is pushing it for beginners, so leave this one for the crew who know what they’re doing. The swell direction from the SE is a good match for the break’s optimum NE direction, so expect some proper walls. The Thursday afternoon stays solid at 6.9ft (800) with light winds, still very good.
Friday, 10 July, drops slightly to 5.9ft and 5.6ft through the day (573 and 580), still clean with light cross-off breezes. It’s good, but not the standout Thursday is.
Saturday, 11 July, things start to fade. The morning is a 4.3ft SW swell (455) with a light cross-shore from the NW, but it’s marginal. The afternoon drops to 3.0ft (404) with onshore wind from the NE. Not worth a special trip.
From Sunday, 12 July, we hit a long flat spell. Sunday morning has a tiny 2.6ft ESE swell (144) with clean wind, but it’s ordinary. By Sunday afternoon it’s 2.3ft (97), and from Monday, 13 July, through to Tuesday, 22 July, the surf is mostly flat or under 2.3ft, with combined energy dropping to single digits or low double digits. There’s a tiny bump on Wednesday, 22 July, with a 4.9ft ESE swell (331) but it’s onshore wind and only marginal. The rest of the run is a write-off for serious surfing.
Overall, the best call is Thursday morning, 9 July, at Tuncurry-North Wall – bigger swell, offshore wind, and strong energy. Take the day off if you can.
