The Lowdown
The Imperial Outlook
Alright, listen up. First week is a total dud. From now until the end of July, the ocean’s flat. We’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft of junk with no power. The wind is shifting around, and the conditions are just poor. That’s a solid five-day stretch with nothing to get excited about.
The first little pulse of life hits on Sunday, August 2nd. The morning shows a 3ft SE swell with a 14-second period and moderate energy. But the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. It’s a “marginal” call at best.
Things perk up on Tuesday, August 4th. The afternoon brings a 3ft SE swell with a 12-second period and decent energy. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. This is the first session that’s worth paddling out for.
But the real standout, the one you’re gonna want to circle on the calendar, is the weekend of August 8th and 9th. Saturday, August 8th morning is the best of the whole forecast. We’ve got a solid 7ft SE groundswell with a 10-second period, and the energy is reading at a massive 886 units. The wind is calm and glassy – zero mph from the NNW. That’s clean, that’s powerful, and it’s at Tuncurry-North Wall (a beach/breakwater setup). This is gonna be a proper session. That size is getting a bit heavy for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s game on. The long period will make getting out the back a bit easier, but the beach break might get a little straight.
The morning of Sunday, August 9th keeps the energy going with a 7ft SE swell and 859 units of energy, but a light cross-onshore wind will put a bit of a bump on the surface. The afternoon gets ruined by a stronger onshore breeze.
The week after that drops off fast, with the swell fading back to knee-high slop by the 10th and 11th. So, your window is that Tuesday the 4th for a smaller, clean session, and then absolutely lock in Saturday morning, August 8th for the best waves of the run.
Rusty, signing off.
