The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for Tuncurry-North Wall, but in feet and miles per hour, the way some of you blokes think.

It’s a grim run, mate. For the first week, Sunday July 26th through Saturday August 1st, it’s flat out tiny – nothing over 2 feet, and the combined energy is pathetic, mostly single digits or low double digits. The wind is often clean or offshore, but with no swell to push, it’s a flat spell. There’s a solid gap of nearly a week with nothing worth paddling for.

The first real sign of life shows up Sunday August 2nd afternoon. The swell jumps to about 6 feet from the SE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 635 – that’s moderate energy. Problem is the wind is cross-onshore from the east at 10 km/h (about 6 mph), which will mess it up. It’s marginal at best.

Now, Monday August 3rd morning is the standout. The swell drops a touch to about 5 feet from the SE, still a 10-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm from the north at 5 km/h (about 3 mph). The combined energy is 446, still solid. That’s clean, that’s waveable, and with the glassy conditions, it’s your best bet in the whole 16-day window. It’s a beach/breakwater setup, exposed, and the swell direction is SE while the optimum is NE, so it’s not a perfect match, but with the clean conditions, it’ll still offer fun ones. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 19°C (about 66°F), with a tiny anomaly of +0.2°C.

Tuesday August 4th morning is also worth a look. Swell drops to about 4 feet from the ESE, period bumps to 11 seconds, and it’s glassy again with a light NW wind at 5 km/h (3 mph). Combined energy at 316. That’s a little smaller, but still clean and with a longer period, meaning more energy per wave. The direction is closer to the optimum, too. It’s a solid second option.

After that, it fades fast. Wednesday August 5th morning has a bit over 2 feet and a little offshore wind, but the energy is only 56 – weak. Then it’s back to tiny stuff and poor conditions for the rest of the run. Nothing in the second week is worth mentioning.

So, bottom line: if you’ve got a window, Monday morning August 3rd is the pick of the litter. Tuesday morning August 4th is a close second. The rest is a write-off.

Rusty.
