The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – this sixteen-day stretch is a tough one for Tuncurry-North Wall. We’re dealing with a real flat spell to kick things off, and it’s not until the second week that we see anything worth getting wet for.

Right from the start, Friday the 31st of July through to Saturday the 2nd of August, there’s barely a ripple. Swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 1.0ft, with a weak combined energy reading of just 10. The wind is a bit of a mess, and you’d be wasting your time. There’s a solid gap of nothingness here.

The first bit of hope shows up on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning grabs a chest-high 4ft of swell from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 379. It’s still a bit of a messy one, though, with onshore winds kicking in. The afternoon gets worse as the wind picks up, so this one is more of a “keep an eye on it” situation.

After that, we slide back into poor conditions from Tuesday the 4th all the way through to Monday the 10th of August. The swell barely nudges 1ft to 2ft, and the energy readings are pitiful, mostly in the teens or low 20s. It’s frustrating, honestly, because the offshore and cross-off winds are there, but there’s just no energy to work with.

The real standout window finally arrives on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning is still small, but that afternoon sees a pulse of 2ft swell from the E with a long 14-second period. That long period is a beauty, giving the waves plenty of shape and energy, with a combined energy of 218. The wind is a steady WNW cross-off, keeping things clean. This is where it gets interesting, but it’s still relatively small.

Then, Wednesday the 12th of August morning is the absolute best of the whole outlook. We’ve got a solid 3ft swell from the E, 11-second period, pushing a moderate combined energy of 292. With a clean WNW cross-off wind, Tuncurry-North Wall (Tuncurry) will be offering some proper, fun little waves. The crowd situation? It’s a spot that’s often busy, so get in early. This is your session. The water temperature is sitting at a normal 66°F for the time of year, so a decent spring suit will do.

Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th of August hold onto some similar swell, around 3ft from the E, with 11-second periods and decent energy (200+), but the wind gets a bit stronger. It’s still cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the conditions are more ordinary than stellar. Saturday the 15th of August sees a fresh 19 mph offshore wind from the SW, which will clean things right up, but the swell drops back to 3ft, robbing it of any real power.

In the end, it’s a long, flat wait for a couple of brief windows. Wednesday the 12th of August morning is your one true standout – don’t miss it if you can help it. For the rest, it’s mostly a tale of patience.

Rusty.
