The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's chew the fat on what's coming for Tuncurry-North Wall.
Right off the bat, for the first week and a half, it's pretty flat. There’s a long stretch of tiny, gutless surf from Monday the 27th of July through to Thursday the 6th of August. Swell heights are stuck below 2ft and mostly from the NE or SE, with combined energy readings mostly in single or low double digits. It’s a real cruiser. If you're jonesing for a paddle, there’s a few windows of clean conditions with offshore or cross-off winds, especially on Wednesday the 29th of July afternoon with a decent 12 mph offshore from the WSW and again on Tuesday the 4th of August morning with a 9 mph offshore from the SW, but the energy just isn't there to push any real shape.
Now, hold onto your board, because things finally kick into gear on Friday the 7th of August. That morning glassy conditions kick off from the WSW at 6 mph, and the SE groundswell pumps up to 7ft with a 12-second period. That's a solid, long-period groundswell, with combined energy reading a whopping 1350. This is proper, powerful stuff. Saturday the 8th of August drops back to nothing, but then Sunday the 9th of August morning is the real standout of the whole outlook. The swell is 7.5ft from the SE at 10 seconds, pushing 1107 energy, and the wind is dead calm—glassy as a mirror. That is a serious morning for experienced surfers only. It’s a beach-and-breakwater setup, so that long-period SE energy might be a little straight at the beach, but with that glassy wind and solid size, the wall will be on.
For the later part of the second week, the surf drops back into the 0.5ft to 4ft range with less consistent energy. Monday the 10th of August morning has a waist-high 4ft swell from the SE, but the wind is a light cross-shore. Not a washout, but nothing compared to that Sunday morning.
The water temp is sitting at around 66°F, so it's about what you'd expect for the time of year. A 3/2 wetsuit will do the job.
If I were you, I’d be circling Sunday the 9th of August on the calendar. That glassy, 7.5ft SE groundswell is the one to get excited about. It's a bit of a wait, but sometimes patience pays off. The rest of the run is pretty slim pickings.
