The Lowdown
Alright, metric’s done, now let’s put it in feet and Fahrenheit for those who think in those numbers.
We’ve got a long dry spell ahead. From Friday the 24th of July through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s flat as a pancake. Tiny waves, poor conditions, nothing worth paddling out for. A proper snoozefest.
The first sign of life hits on Tuesday the 4th of August at Tuncurry-North Wall. A south-east groundswell pushes in around 6 to 7 feet, but it’s short-period (8 seconds) and a little junky with a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. The combined energy is solid (576–689), but it’s not the cleanest.
The standout, no question, is Thursday the 6th of August. Thursday morning brings a 8-foot SE swell with an 11-second period and a clean offshore from the SW. Energy is strong at 1466. This is big, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. That afternoon eases to around 6 feet, but the period jumps to 14 seconds, the energy hits 2098, and the conditions stay clean. This is the best of the run.
Friday the 7th of August holds similar quality: 8-foot swell in the morning with a 13-second period and clean offshore wind. Energy is strong at 1965. Another day for the advanced crew.
By Saturday the 8th of August, it’s dropped to about 5 feet with an 11-second period and clean cross-off winds. Energy is moderate at 527. A nice easing swell to finish the run.
Water temperature is around 68°F – about average for this time of year.
So yeah, the first ten days are a bust. The real action is that window from Tuesday the 4th to Saturday the 8th of August. That’s your shot.
