The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's get real about what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Look, I've gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty grim stretch for Tuncurry-North Wall. We're looking at a long, slow, flat spell. The first hint of anything that's even close to surfable won't show up until the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd of September, and even then, it's a struggle. Before that, it's a total write-off. Sunday the 30th through to Wednesday morning the 2nd is just tiny, weak windswell with poor conditions. Total flatness.
So, Wednesday afternoon the 2nd of September. The swell is still a pathetic 1 ft from the ENE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 78. But the reason I'm even mentioning it is the wind. We get a glassy, calm session. That's the only thing giving it a pulse. It's surfable, but only just. You'd be on a longboard, scratching for anything. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no major surprises there.
Then we go back into a drought. Thursday the 3rd through to Saturday the 13th of September is a rollercoaster of tiny, poor surf. You'll see the odd 2 ft bump, but it's always paired with onshore wind or terrible periods. The combined energy rarely gets past 100, and when it does (like Wednesday the 13th of September morning with a 92), the swell is still only 3 ft from the NNE with a short period of 6 seconds. It's just messy.
The only other day that might get your heart beating a little is Sunday the 14th of September. The swell is 4 ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 135. The problem? It's onshore wind from the ENE. That's gonna chop it up and make it a lumpy, blown-out mess. This is a beach and breakwater setup, so with that onshore wind and a short-period swell, honestly, this is looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
The absolute best on offer is still that Wednesday afternoon the 2nd of September. It's a stand-out purely because it's the only window of clean, glassy water, even if it's tiny. Every other day is either flat, blown out, or both. Get out there on the 2nd if you're desperate, but don't expect much.
