The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Tuncurry-North Wall. For the first week and a half, we’re in a real lull. The swell is tiny, mostly coming in from the ENE at 1ft to 1.3ft, and while the wind is often clean or even glassy, the energy just isn’t there. The combined energy is barely registering, often under 50. It’s flat, plain and simple. We’ve got a solid run of days with nothing doing from Saturday the 8th right through to around Wednesday the 19th. There’s a brief spike on Monday the 10th with a 6.6ft NNE swell pushing the combined energy up to 956, but it’s coming in with a short period of 8 seconds and some strong cross-off winds, and the report calls it marginal. Not one to get excited about.
Now, there is a glimmer of hope. On Thursday the 20th, the afternoon session shows some potential. We get a 3ft swell from the SE, but here’s the thing – the period jumps to 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy hits 279, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the SSE. That’s the best looking conditions in the whole forecast. The water temp is about 64.9°F which is pretty average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent like Tuncurry-North Wall, having a run this long with no real surf is a bit of a bummer, but it’s a beach/breakwater setup, so it can be fickle. The good news is the spot handles a NE optimum swell direction, and that 12-second SE swell will wrap in nicely. The period is long enough to give good shape, but it’s not so long that it’ll race straight down the beach. Crowds are often an issue here, but on a Thursday afternoon with a small, clean southeast swell, you might just have it to yourself. That’s the standout, and it’s the only one worth marking on the calendar.
