The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. For the first few days, there’s nothing worth paddling for. The first real chance shows up on Wednesday, August 26th.
That’s Tuncurry-North Wall. Water temp is 18°, about normal for the season. Wednesday morning is the pick: a 2ft swell out of the NE, period around 8 seconds, and a south-west wind blowing offshore. That means clean, lined-up waves. The total swell energy is moderate at 210, which is enough to put some punch in the walls. The wind looks glassy, so you’ll have a smooth face to work with. Wednesday afternoon turns windier and riskier with a possible storm, so hit it early.
After that, it’s a long stretch of small and average. Thursday and Friday the 27th and 28th have 3ft waves, but they’re just okay – clean but tiny. Saturday and Sunday the 29th and 30th are similar, with 2ft surf and light winds, but nothing to call home about. The energy numbers drop into the double digits, so it’s slim pickings.
Into the second week, it’s mostly small. The morning of Wednesday, September 2nd offers a glassy 2ft wave, but it’s weak. The afternoon of Friday, September 4th is glassy too, but again, very small. No real standout in the second half.
The only real session to pencil in is Wednesday, August 26th morning. The rest is mostly flat or choppy. That’s how it goes sometimes.
