Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tuncurry North Wall over the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of a mixed bag here, so I’ll walk you through it.

We kick off with a pretty decent run starting Thursday the 9th of July. The morning sees some clouds, a light SSE breeze keeping it cross-off, and a solid 8 ft swell out of the southeast. The period is a steady 10 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 1020 – that’s strong energy. This is proper groundswell, and while it’s got plenty of push, it’s more for the experienced crew; beginners will find it too much. Water temps are about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The afternoon cleans up nicely with clear skies and the same cross-off breeze, still holding 7 ft and 800 energy. That’s quality.

Friday the 10th of July looks like the standout window. Morning session is absolute glass with a light WSW offshore at 5 km/h, clean as a whistle, and a 6 ft swell from the southeast. The period holds at 10 seconds, energy is 738 – moderate to strong. This is the pick of the entire forecast. Good shape, clean faces, and that offshore wind will have them peeling nicely. Afternoon stays good, just a tick smaller at 6 ft and a bit of a cross-off breeze, but still very surfable.

Saturday the 11th drops off considerably. The morning is a 3 ft southeast swell but with a cross-shore wind and a longer 12-second period. That longer period at a beach/breakwater setup like this can mean it breaks a bit straight, so not as user-friendly. Energy is moderate at 520. The afternoon gets messy with an onshore wind and only 4 ft, poor conditions.

From Sunday the 12th right through to about Tuesday the 21st of July, it’s a long, flat, or poor run. There are a few tiny bumps – like Sunday morning the 12th with a clean 3 ft and a cross-off breeze, but it’s just too small to get excited about. Energy drops to 131 that morning. There’s a brief pulse on Friday the 17th when the swell tries to pick up to 5 ft, but it’s blowing 40 km/h from the south – that’s kitesurfing weather, not paddle surfing. The 18th of July shows a similar story: 6 ft swell but again hammered by strong winds. Not worth it.

The only other noteworthy window is late in the run, Tuesday the 21st of July. We see a clean, offshore wind from the southwest at 25 km/h, but the swell is tiny at 4 ft from the north-northeast with a short 6-second period. Energy is only 96 – weak. Ordinary conditions.

So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Friday the 10th of July morning. Get on it early for a clean 6 ft southeast swell with a light offshore wind. Thursday the 9th is also great but a bit bigger. After that, the forecast goes quiet and messy for over a week. A couple of pulses show up but they’re blown out or just too weak. Keep an eye on the 21st as a maybe, but don’t hold your breath.

Stay frothing,
Rusty
