The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’re in for a long, flat spell at Tuncurry-North Wall before a solid pulse of south-east groundswell lights things up in the second week. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first week is pretty grim. From Wednesday 5th August through to Sunday 16th August, there’s barely a wave worth paddling for. A few mornings show glassy conditions with tiny 1 ft to 2 ft east-northeast slop, but the swell energy is weak (around 44 to 178 on the energy scale) and the period is short, so it’s just not worth suiting up. Thursday 6th August morning has a glass-off and 1 ft east swell at 11 seconds, but with energy only 51, it’s barely surfable. The setup is more interesting for a paddle than a proper surf. Sunday 9th August afternoon sees a onshore NE wind at 16 mph and 6 ft of messy northeast swell – that’s blown-out and choppy, strictly for the hardcore or the kite crew.
The real standout arrives on Monday 17th August afternoon. A south-east swell kicks in at 6 ft with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 492 – moderate energy. The wind is cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph, keeping the waves clean. This is when things start to get interesting. Then Tuesday 18th August morning is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell holds at 6 ft from the south-east, period stretches to 10 seconds, and the energy hits 734 – strong. With a light southerly cross-off and glassy conditions, the waves will be clean and lined up. The swell direction from the south-east is a good match for the break’s optimum NE swell direction, so expect decent shape. Crowds are often an issue here, so get in early. This one’s for intermediate to advanced surfers – 6 ft is solid but not too gnarly.
Wednesday 19th August morning stays glassy with 4 ft south-east swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds, and wave energy eases to 193. Still surfable, but not as good as the day before. By Thursday 20th August, we’re back to tiny 2 ft east-southeast dribble.
So, short story: the first 12 days are a bust. Hang tight for the Monday 17th afternoon and Tuesday 18th morning windows – that’s your best chance at some proper waves. The long-range promise is real, but keep an eye on the forecast for changes.
Rusty.
