The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the imperial take. Look, I’ve been all over the charts for Tuncurry-North Wall and it’s a rough stretch for the next 16 days. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing for the first week, with the first decent swell not showing up until Sunday, August 2nd. So, get ready for a long wait.
From Saturday, July 25th through Saturday, August 1st, we’re looking at waves mostly around 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The combined energy is pathetic—mostly single digits or low double digits, all well under 100 (like 19, 6, 2, 10, 4). There’s some nice glassy mornings and offshore winds, like Monday July 27th morning with glassy conditions and a cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 0.3 ft. You’d need a magnifying glass to see it. Water temp is 66°F, with a 0.4°F anomaly, so pretty average for the season.
The only real standout is Sunday, August 2nd. The morning session is the go. We get a clean 3 ft swell from the SE, with a 9-second period and a combined energy that finally hits three digits at 108 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy out of the NW at 3 mph. That’s your window. The swell direction (SE) isn’t a perfect match for the optimum NE direction for this spot, but it’s rideable. The break is a beach/breakwater setup, fairly consistent, exposed, and beginner-friendly. Crowds are possible—it’s labelled “often,” so expect some company. Perfect for a learner at 3 ft. The afternoon drops off with a cross-shore and energy at 102, so get in early.
After that, it’s back to the flatness. Monday August 3rd is flat with a moderate offshore—no swell. Tuesday August 4th morning brings back 3 ft from the ESE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, energy is only 68 (weak), and it’s raining. Not great. The rest of the second week is tiny, with waves between 0.3 ft and 1 ft and energy in the teens and twenties. Thursday August 6th morning is glassy but only 0.3 ft. Friday August 7th morning is glassy again, but only 0.3 ft. The long-range on Sunday August 9th shows a 0.7 ft ENE swell with a long 16-second period and energy of 45, but it’s too small and that period will make it break straight and messy at this beach break.
So, your only real play is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. Everything else is a paddle for nothing. The break is consistent enough that it’ll come good again, but this forecast is a tough one. Rusty out.
