The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour for the crew who think in imperial.

For Tuncurry-North Wall, it’s a long dry spell. From Wednesday the 2nd through to Monday the 14th, the surf is mostly tiny and weak. We’re lookin’ at wave heights from 1 foot to 2 feet, with almost no energy behind 'em. There’s a brief bump to about 4 feet on the afternoon of Saturday the 5th, but with short-period chop, it’s not worth the paddle. The local sandbanks will be starvin' for a proper set.

You gotta wait until Wednesday the 16th. That morning brings around 5 feet from the east-northeast, with glassy wind and combined energy of 324 (moderate wave energy). That’s the first real opportunity. The standout is that afternoon, though – the swell jumps to about 7 feet from the east-northeast, still glassy, with energy at 488 (strong wave energy). That’s proper, but at that size it’s gettin' a bit heavy for beginners.

Thursday the 17th morning carries it on with around 6 feet from the northeast, clean with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is 402 (strong wave energy). By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore, so get out early.

The best call is Tuncurry-North Wall on Wednesday the 16th, from the morning through that glassy afternoon session. That 7 foot east-northeast swell with no wind is the highlight. Just know that crowds are often around. Water temp is about 65°F, so average for the season.

Rusty.

Information about the Tuncurry-North Wall Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tuncurry-North Wall provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tuncurry-North Wall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tuncurry-North Wall surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tuncurry-North Wall) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
