Alright, let’s break it down. The first decent surf shows up Tuesday morning at Tuncurry-North Wall. It’s a beach and breakwater spot, wide open to the swell. You’re looking at 3ft of SE swell, with a 14-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. Water temp is 68°, right around average for this time of year. The wind is SSW at 12 mph, blowing offshore, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. The combined energy is moderate (387). It’s a solid opener, but not the best of the run.

Wednesday morning has rain showers and a cross-off southerly breeze, but the swell is still 3ft from the ESE. Energy is moderate (347). Wednesday afternoon, the swell builds to 5ft, ESE, with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 657. Still cross-off wind, but the waves are clean and punchy. Good, but not the top.

Now, Thursday morning – this is the one. You’ve got 7ft of SE swell, period 10 seconds, and a light SW offshore wind at just 6 mph. That’s a dream combination. The energy is moderate to strong (951). The break is exposed enough to handle the size, and with offshore flow, you’ll be scoring some real barrels. This is the day to clear your schedule. It’s a bit heavy for beginners, but for anyone with experience, it’s going to be firing. Thursday afternoon drops to 4ft, but still clean.

Friday keeps the momentum. Morning has 6ft of SE swell, with a glassy offshore wind from the SW at only 3 mph. That’s as clean as it gets. The energy is 573. Friday afternoon holds at 6ft, still clean. Another top-tier day.

Saturday and Sunday drop off. Saturday is small and crossed up, with a short-period 4ft. Sunday morning is 3ft, and by Sunday afternoon, only 2ft. The energy is low (128 and 88). It’s surfable but nothing special.

From Monday (13 July) onward, it goes flat. Monday through Wednesday of the following week are all under 2ft, with energy in the single digits or teens. The swell disappears for a long stretch. There’s a tiny bump on Sunday 19 July with 4ft from the NE, but it’s a short period (5 seconds) and glassy wind – that’s more of a novelty. The energy is weak (71).

So, the bottom line: the best surf in this 16-day window is Thursday 9 July and Friday 10 July. Thursday morning with that 7ft SE swell and light offshore wind is the absolute standout. Friday is a close second. Get on it before it’s gone. After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch.

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.
