The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next week and a half is pretty quiet for Tuncurry-North Wall. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak waves and nothing really worth paddling out for. The first real surfable energy doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday the 17th of August, but that’s a whole different story—more on that in a sec.
Right now, from Tuesday the 4th through to Saturday the 15th of August, it’s mostly tiny stuff. Swell heights are hovering around 1ft to 2ft, with periods mostly under 10 seconds, and the combined energy is low—mostly under 100, just a few days sneaking into the 140–180 range (still weak). Winds are often light or offshore, so the water’s clean and glassy at times, but there’s just no push. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Sunday the 9th afternoon offers a tiny bump—3ft from the ENE at 9 seconds, combined energy of 183 (moderate energy)—and the WNW cross-off wind keeps it clean, but honestly, it’s barely surfable. Monday the 10th morning has a bit of that same swell with a WSW offshore wind, but again, it’s small and ordinary.
Then we hit a big gap: from late on the 12th through the 15th, it drops right back to 1ft–2ft with weak energy. Not worth getting wet.
Now, here’s the standout, and it’s a banger—but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it. Monday morning the 17th of August: a solid 10ft SE swell hits, with a period of 10 seconds and combined energy of 1955—that’s strong to very strong wave energy. Winds are light, cross-on from the north at 10 km/h, creating small ripples. However, this break is a beach/breakwater setup, and that swell is too big for beginners at over 8ft. Only for well-experienced surfers. Tuesday the 18th morning: 7ft from the SE, 10 seconds, energy of 880 (strong), with a clean SW offshore wind at 20 km/h. That’s the pick—clean, powerful, and solid. The water temp anomaly is about average, nothing to write home about.
So, the best on offer: Tuesday morning the 18th of August at Tuncurry-North Wall. That 7ft SE swell with offshore winds will be the cleanest, strongest wave of the whole stretch. Monday the 17th is huge but messy with cross-on wind and way too big for most. Keep an eye on that Tuesday session.
Rusty.
