The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, it’s a tough run ahead for the Tuncurry-North Wall (beach/breakwater) stretch. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window.
The problem is a persistent lack of any proper swell energy. For the next week plus, we’re looking at tiny 0.6ft to 2ft slop. The first proper bump doesn’t show up until Friday the 4th of September, and even then it’s only a 4ft NNE pulse with a short 6 second period, and onshore wind. The combined energy that day hits 180 (moderate wave energy), but it’s a messy affair – not worth paddling out for.
There are a couple of mornings that look glassy, like Monday the 7th of September morning with a 2ft NNE swell and light offshore breeze, but the swell is just too weak. The same goes for Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th of September mornings – dead flat and clean.
Honestly, the best bit of this whole outlook is a brief moment on the morning of Friday the 4th of September: a tiny 2ft NE swell with glassy conditions and a slight air. The waves are surfable but very ordinary. It’s not a standout, just the least worst option.
For a break that’s only fairly consistent, this blank run isn’t too unusual. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much average for this time of year.
