The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cooking at Tuncurry-North Wall (Tuncurry) for the next couple of weeks. It’s been dead flat to start, but there’s a handful of sessions that could get you wet. Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing weird.
First thing: Wednesday the 15th is a total dud – rain, a tiny 0.3ft easterly bump with a 9-second period and next to no energy (2). Don’t bother. Thursday the 16th morning picks up to 4ft from the southeast, but the period is a weak 6 seconds – junk. The energy is moderate at 112, and the cross-off wind keeps it clean, but it’s ordinary. Friday the 17th is the same: 4ft at 6 seconds, 131 energy, clean but meh. Saturday the 18th sees 6ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, both from the east-southeast, period up to 7-8 seconds. Energy jumps to 362 then 828 (moderate to strong). It’s clean with cross-off winds, but that afternoon size is pushing it for beginners – better for experienced folks.
Sunday the 19th is the big one: 10ft from the east, 10-second period, energy of 2046 in the morning (strong). Wind is cross in the morning, cross-off later. At that size, it’s experts only, and the swell direction is off the preferred northeast, but the power is there. If you’re skilled, Sunday morning could be a wild ride.
Monday the 20th drops to 8ft, still east with a 10-second period, energy at 1086 (strong), but the wind goes light cross-onshore, messing up the surface. Tuesday the 21st is a sneaky good one – morning gives 6ft from the east, 10-second period, 584 energy, and glassy conditions with a light northwest wind. That’s clean and fun for all levels. Wednesday the 22nd morning is similar: 5ft from the east-northeast, 10-second period, 407 energy, and glassy again. Both are solid options.
Second week tails off. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th offer 4-4ft from the east-northeast, 10-second period, energy 250-314, with light offshore or cross-off winds – clean but just okay. Saturday the 25th is tiny at 3ft, glassy in the morning but onshore later – not worth it. Sunday the 26th through Wednesday the 30th sees 2-4ft, periods 8-12 seconds, energy 112-282 (weak to moderate). Some mornings have offshore winds, but it’s ordinary. The best in the second week is Thursday the 23rd morning – 4ft, 10 seconds, clean.
Standout sessions: Tuesday the 21st morning and Wednesday the 22nd morning. Tuesday is 6ft, glassy, decent period – the pick of the lot. Wednesday is a close second with 5ft, also glassy. Sunday the 19th is for experts. Expect crowds likely at Tuncurry-North Wall on those cleaner days – it gets busy when there’s a pulse.
A slow start, a couple of clean mornings mid-week, and a big expert-only day early on. Pick your moment.
