G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been looking over this stretch of coast for the next couple of weeks. Let’s be straight up – it’s a slow start, and we’ve got a bit of a wait before the good stuff turns up. The first few days are pretty much write-offs, with tiny swell and onshore or cross-off winds that aren’t doing us any favours. From Saturday the 11th through to Monday the 13th, the swell is small and the energy is weak (combined energy values well under 100), so don’t bother paddling out. There’s a solid gap with no real surf options until things start to look a little more promising later in the second week.

The one spot we’ve got to watch is Tuncurry-North Wall – a beach and breakwater setup that’s exposed to the east-southeast swells. It’s fairly consistent, but it’s often crowded, so expect some company. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Now, the standout window – and I’m getting a bit excited here – is Tuesday the 21st. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Both the morning and afternoon sessions are looking like the best on offer. We’ve got a solid 5 ft swell from the east-northeast and east, with a period of 10 to 11 seconds – that’s a nice, clean groundswell that’ll wrap in well. The wind is offshore from the southwest at 12 mph, keeping the surface glassy. The combined energy is strong (777 in the morning, 661 in the afternoon), so you’ll feel the push. It’s a bit of a wait, but it’s going to be worth it. The swell is in the 5 ft range, so it’s manageable for intermediates but might be a bit much for beginners – keep that in mind.

Before that, Friday the 17th afternoon also shapes up. Swell at 5 ft from the east-southeast at 10 seconds, with cross-off winds from the south-southeast at 9 mph. The energy is up there (452), and it’s clean. Not the absolute standout, but a solid session if you’re keen.

After the 21st, the swell drops off fast. Wednesday the 22nd morning has a clean 3 ft with light offshore winds, but the energy is modest (218). From there, it’s a slow fade into tiny, weak swell through to the end of the 16-day window, with mostly ordinary conditions. The last few days, like Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, have offshore winds but only 2 ft to 2 ft of swell and short period (8 seconds), so it’s more of a longboard or flat-session kind of vibe.

So, in short – hang tight, save your energy for Tuesday the 21st at Tuncurry-North Wall. That’s the one.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Tuncurry-North Wall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tuncurry-North Wall may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
