The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Tuncurry-North Wall. This is a beach and breakwater setup, beginner-friendly when it’s small, and pretty consistent overall, but we’ve got a slow start before anything worthwhile shows up.
Right now, Tuesday the 14th, it’s dead flat. A tiny 0.3ft easterly windswell with a 10-second period and weak energy (3). Cross-off wind at 15 km/h keeps the water clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Wednesday the 15th is a total blank – no swell at all. Thursday the 16th finally gives us a 3ft easterly swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and the energy is weak (61). It’s surfable but ordinary. Friday the 17th bumps to 5ft from the ESE, still short period (6 seconds) and moderate energy (138), but wind is messy with cross-shore chop. Saturday the 18th pushes to 5ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, same short period, but wind stays cross-off and clean-ish. Still, quality is lacking.
Sunday the 19th is where things get serious. A solid 8ft easterly groundswell rolls in with an 11-second period and strong energy (1639), but it’s cross-shore and bumpy. The afternoon cleans up to 8ft with 10-second period and very strong energy (1254). This is only for experienced surfers – that size at a beach/breakwater will be heavy. Monday the 20th drops to 7ft, still long period (10 seconds), but wind stays cross-shore and onshore, making it marginal.
Now, the real standout is Tuesday the 21st – early morning, clear skies, with a light offshore breeze from the NW at just 5 km/h. The swell sits at 5ft from the east, with a 10-second period and moderate energy (450). That’s clean, lined-up, and really inviting. Best bet for the average surfer.
The run keeps going. Wednesday the 22nd – morning has a 5ft easterly swell with a 10-second period and strong offshore wind from the WSW. Clean again. Thursday the 23rd – the pick for the experienced crew. A 7ft east swell with a long 13-second period and very strong energy (1352). Offshore wind in the morning from the SW at just 5 km/h. This is proper groundswell – steep and powerful. Water temp is around 68°F, about average for this time of year.
Friday the 24th – morning is glassy with 5ft east swell, 11-second period, and moderate energy (562). Beautiful. Saturday the 25th – morning has 6ft east swell, 12-second period, strong offshore wind, and clean. The afternoon bumps to 6ft with even stronger offshore – excellent for experts.
The second week fades. Sunday the 26th sees 6ft but with rain and onshore wind. By Tuesday and Wednesday the 28th-29th, it’s back to 2ft and smaller.
Bottom line: get in the water on Tuesday morning the 21st for clean 5ft waves, or if you’re experienced, Thursday morning the 23rd for a punchy 7ft groundswell with offshore wind. Crowds are often here, so bring your patience.
Stay salty.
Rusty.
