The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough start. We’ve got a long, quiet period ahead with no real swell to get excited about for the first week or so. The Tuncurry-North Wall (beach/breakwater) is the only spot on the cards, and it’s not offering much. We’re looking at a string of days with poor conditions and tiny surf.
From Sunday the 23rd through to the end of August, it’s all very small with weak energy (between 38 and 134), mixed with onshore winds and rain. Not worth paddling out for.
We finally get a window on the morning of Wednesday the 26th. The wind turns light and offshore from the WSW, cleaning things up. There’s a small, 4ft swell coming from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (187). It’s surfable but ordinary, scoring the best we’ve seen all week, but it’s still only tiny and weak.
Thursday the 27th morning offers similar conditions: a clean 3ft ENE swell with light SSW offshore winds, but it’s still pretty weak (103).
Friday the 28th morning is looking glassy with zero wind and a 3ft NE swell. It’s surfable but again, nothing to write home about (95).
After that, it’s more of the same: tiny, weak swells and clean conditions on the mornings of Saturday 29th, Sunday 30th, and Monday 31st, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The energy is low (between 66 and 74), and the surf is barely breaking.
The real standout is a long way off. On Monday the 7th of September, we finally see a pulse of energy. The morning looks glassy with a 4ft NNE swell pushing in. The period is short at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps to moderate (239) and it’s expected to be good surf. This is the one to watch for, but it’s over a week away, so it’s promising but not locked in.
The water temp anomaly data isn't provided, so I can't give you the usual report on that.
So, the bottom line: the next week is a write-off for decent waves. If you’re desperate, the mornings with offshore wind might give you a couple of knee-high wobblers, but the best bet is to set your sights on that Monday the 7th of September window. It’s a long wait, but it could be worth it.
Rusty.

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.
