The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what Tuncurry-North Wall is doing for the next couple of weeks.
It's a slow start, no doubt about it. The first week is mostly a write-off with small, weak, and messy surf. All the action is packed into the final few days, so you'll be waiting a while.
From Sunday the 16th through to Monday the 24th, it's a real grind. We're looking at poor to marginal conditions with tiny, short-period swell. Winds are mostly cross or cross-on, just ruining the surface. There's a brief moment on Wednesday the 19th morning when the wind dies to glass, but we’re still looking at a knee-high 1.1m wave from the ESE (energy 214). It'd be clean, but barely a ripple.
The real action kicks off on Tuesday, 25th August morning. We get a jump to a solid 6ft swell from the NNE with a 7-second period and strong energy of 402. A light offshore from the SSW will keep the wall clean. This is a proper session for anyone who's got their wits about them.
But the clear winner of this whole forecast is Saturday, 29th August. This is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the NE, energy levels hitting 480 in the morning and a massive 655 in the afternoon. The morning is an absolute dream: glassy, zero wind conditions. 8ft is expert territory, no doubt about it. The wall will be pumping, and with no wind, it’s going to be a standout day. The crowds are often there for a reason, so expect some lineup competition.
The next day, Sunday, 30th August morning, is a perfect follow-up. Swell drops to a clean 4ft from the NE (energy 239), and we get another glassy, dead-calm morning. A brilliant session for the strong intermediate crowd, and a nice break if Saturday was a bit too heavy. Water temp is 66°F, pretty much spot on for the season.
So, in short: the first week is best spent doing something else. The windows to chase are Tuesday the 25th morning for a solid, clean session, and the weekend of the 29th and 30th for the best swell of the whole outlook. Be there.
Rusty.
