The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead. We've got a big gap of nothing worthwhile, then a flicker of hope way down the line. The forecast starts with the best of a bad bunch on Wednesday, 26 August, but even that's nothing to write home about.
Tuncurry-North Wall (Tuncurry) is the only spot on the cards. Water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is about average for this time of year.
On Wednesday morning, 26 August, we've got a 5ft NE swell with a short 8-second period, pushing through with a light WSW cross-offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is moderate at 248. It's a clean session, but the swell's a bit weak and short-period. This is your best shot, but it's a small window.
From Wednesday afternoon, 26 August, things go downhill fast. The swell drops, winds pick up, and the surf quality tanks. A lot of those days are calling it "poor surf conditions" – and they're not wrong. We've got a run of tiny, gutless waves from 3ft down to 1.0ft through the rest of August and into the first week of September. There's a bit of a tease on Saturday morning, 5 September, with a light offshore breeze and 1ft swell, but it's barely surfable.
Then, hold onto your hats for Thursday morning, 10 September. This is the standout, but it's a long way off. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NNE with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 491. That's a solid push of energy, but the short period means it'll be a bit crumbly and the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect. It's a promising swell for a look, but don't book the day off work just yet – forecasts this far out are less certain. The afternoon turns to onshore rubbish, so it's a morning-only call.
Overall, there's a long, flat spell, then one potential day to eye off. Keep the expectations low for now.
Rusty.
