G’day, I’m Rusty, and I gotta level with you – we’re in a flat spell to kick things off. If you’re looking for a wave, you’ll be sitting on the beach for a few days.
The first real look at surf comes on Thursday, July 9th. That morning the swell hits 8ft from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy clocks in at 1020 (moderate). The wind is light from the S at 10 km/h, cross-off, so that means clean conditions. That morning is the standout, but it’s for the experienced only – 8ft is gonna be a handful for beginners at a beach/breakwater setup like Tuncurry-North Wall. Thursday afternoon drops to 7ft, same SE swell, still light S wind, clean, with energy at 800 – still very good. Water temp is 67°F, about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Friday the 10th is a step down. Morning has 6ft SE swell with a 10-second period and a light W breeze at 5 km/h, cross-off, clean, with energy at 724. Good for intermediates. By Friday afternoon, the wind goes SE at 10 km/h and cross-shore, so you’ll see a few ripples on the surface – still okay at 6ft, but less clean.
Saturday the 11th drops further: morning has 4ft with a 9-second period, cross-shore wind from the NNW at 10 km/h – just marginal. Afternoon turns onshore with ENE wind and 4ft SE swell – a write-off.
Then there’s a massive dry gap. From Sunday the 12th through to Wednesday the 22nd, it’s all tiny waves – under 2ft to flat – with no energy (combined energy in the single digits or zero). Plenty of offshore days, but no swell to ride.
A tiny pulse finally shows on Thursday the 23rd of July. Morning brings 2ft from the E with an 11-second period, energy of just 58, and a moderate offshore SW breeze at 20 km/h – clean but ordinary. By afternoon it’s 2ft, still E swell with a 10-second period, offshore SW wind at 15 km/h, and energy of 87. Surfable, but not worth the effort.
So your best bet is Thursday the 9th – that’s the clear winner. Get out early for the clean 8ft SE swell with light winds. After that, you’re waiting a long time for almost nothing. That’s the story.
Rusty.

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.
