The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a proper look at the charts for our stretch of coast, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak run over the next 16 days. We’ve got a massive gap at the start with no surf worth talking about, stretching from now right through the first week of August. It’s not until Monday morning, the 3rd of August, that we finally see a pulse of energy.
The real standout, and honestly the only session that’s got any sparkle, is Monday afternoon the 3rd of August at Tuncurry-North Wall (Tuncurry_North-Wall). The water’s sitting at about 66°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing weird going on there. That afternoon, we’ve got a 4ft swell coming from the SE, with a cracking period of 11 seconds. That’s real groundswell, which means better shaped waves and more push. The wind drops right out – glassy conditions – zero wind, just a clean sheet of water. The combined wave energy is sitting at 271 (moderate), which is solid enough for a fun arvo. The swell direction is from the SE, and the spot loves a NE swell, so it’s not quite hitting the optimum, but at that size and with that glassy top, it’ll still be a joy. It’s a beach/breakwater setup, and it’s fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves. Just keep in mind it can get crowded _often_, so get down there early.
The Monday morning (3rd August) before that is a bit of a tease – 4ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, and combined energy of 363 (moderate). That’s a bigger swell, but the wind is a light cross from the NNW, so it’s not as clean. Might be a bit messy, but still surfable if you’re desperate.
After that little window, it’s back to the doldrums. From Tuesday the 4th right through to the end of the forecast on the 15th of August, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells – mostly under 2ft, short periods, and poor conditions. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning the 11th of August where we get 3ft from the ESE with a 10-second period and 188 energy, but the wind is a cross-off and the session is mediocre. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Nothing else comes close to that Monday 3rd arvo.
So, in short: if you’re keen, pencil in Monday afternoon the 3rd of August. The rest is a waiting game. It’s a tough stretch for this area, but it won’t stay this way forever – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
