The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any swell to speak of. For the first two weeks, from July 25th right through to the morning of August 8th, it’s pretty much a flat spell. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy is barely there – weak values like 22 (combined energy) or less. It's a real bummer. The wind is often okay, sometimes even glassy or offshore, but there’s just nothing to ride. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Finally, there’s a tiny flicker of hope on Saturday morning, August 8th. We get a small pulse of 0.7ft swell from the east, but the real story is the period – a very long 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy jumps to 63 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light offshore from the SW, so it’ll be clean. For a spot like Tuncurry-North Wall, which is a beach/breakwater setup, that long period groundswell can be a bit tricky – it tends to stand up and go straight at the beach, but the wall might offer a better line. The conditions are clean, but the size is tiny. It’s not really a standout, just the only thing that’s not a total zero. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. The morning of August 9th also has a small, clean 0.7ft swell with a long 18-second period, but again, it’s just a whisper.
So, the honest truth? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The forecast is just a long, quiet run. For the area, this kind of blank run isn't totally unusual in the middle of winter. Keep your eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
