The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this stretch.

Right, I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a bit of a dry spell to start. For the first week or so, it’s going to be a tough watch. There’s really nothing doing until we get past the middle of the month. We’re looking at a good gap here with no real recommendations until we hit Thursday, the 20th of August. Don’t get too excited about those days before that either; we’re talking tiny waves, poor conditions, or just a complete lack of quality surf. You might as well leave the board in the shed for now.

Water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year – no surprises there.

Now, let's talk about the standout. It looks like the real action is shaping up for Friday the 21st of August. That morning at Tuncurry-North Wall is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We’re expecting a solid groundswell from the ENE pushing through 6 ft. The combined energy of all swells is strong, sitting up there (866). Best part? The wind is due to be absolutely glassy. That’s going to make for some clean, lined-up waves. With a period around 8 seconds, it’ll have a bit of juice without being too tricky. This is where you want to be.

Saturday the 22nd of August morning is also worth a mention. Similar story with clean, glassy conditions early thanks to a light NNE breeze. Swell will be a touch smaller at 6 ft from the ENE but still packing plenty of energy (516). It’ll be a great follow-up session if Friday gets you frothing. Just be aware, this break can get a bit of a crew on it from time to time, so get in early.

Later in the second week, things get a bit messy again with bumpy winds and rain around. The last few days of the forecast window show some cleaner offshores for Tuncurry-North Wall around the 24th and 25th, but the swell drops right off and conditions look a bit raw with that fresh wind. Worth a look if you’re desperate, but don't call in sick for it.

Overall, the first week is a write-off, but hang in there. That Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd look like they’ll fire.

Rusty.
