Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tuncurry-North Wall over the next 16 days.
Right, let's break down what's coming your way.
First proper surf hits on Thursday, July 9th at Tuncurry-North Wall. A solid 8ft SE swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is at 1020 (moderate to strong). That's excellent for experienced surfers but way too much for anyone new. Water temp is 68°, totally normal for this time of year. Winds are light from the SSE, giving you a clean cross-off. Thursday afternoon holds at 7ft, still clean, still full of power.
Friday the 10th keeps the good run with 6ft SE swell, same period, and clean conditions under light WSW winds in the morning. Wave energy remains strong. Friday arvo, still clean with light SSE breeze.
After Friday, it tapers off. Saturday the 11th morning drops to 3ft from the ESE at 12 seconds – longer period helps but it’s marginal. By arvo it’s onshore and messy. Sunday the 12th is tiny, around 3ft and ordinary. Then from Monday the 13th through Saturday the 18th, it’s mostly flat or junk – swell under 2ft or nothing. A big dry spell for nearly a week.
Sunday the 19th sees a little pulse, maybe 2 to 2ft east swell, but poor quality. The real gem, and I mean the one to mark, is Monday, July 20th. Glassy conditions, a clean 2ft ESE groundswell at 12 seconds, energy back up to 206 (weak to moderate). Small, but glassy and clean – perfect for a longboard or funboard with hardly anyone out.
Another quiet patch, then Thursday, July 23rd brings a massive 12ft SE swell. Combined energy of 2482 – that’s very strong. Too big for this break unless you're a seasoned charger. Wind is cross-off and clean, but experts only. Friday the 24th drops to 8ft from the ESE, still powerful and clean offshore. Still advanced, but more doable.
My call: Thursday 9th and Friday 10th are the go for experienced surfers – solid, clean, pumping. For a more relaxed session, Monday July 20th is the standout small, glassy day. Everything else has long flat gaps or is either too small, too messy, or too heavy.
Stay sharp out there.
