The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Over the next 16 days at Tuncurry-North Wall (a beach/breakwater spot), it’s mostly a flat, frustrating stretch. Starts off Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th with tiny waves and onshore wind – not worth paddling out. A little bump shows Tuesday morning the 15th but still ordinary. Then we hit a big lull from Wednesday the 16th through the rest of the week – clean but tiny, nothing doing. The first real highlight comes Friday morning the 18th.
Friday 18th September morning is the pick. Clear skies, glassy calm, SE swell at about 4ft (1.2m) with an 8-second period and moderate energy (271). It’s not huge but with no wind, it’ll be clean and fun. Swell direction isn’t a perfect match for the break’s optimum NE, but the glass makes it work. Crowds are possible here.
Saturday 19th September morning also looks good – glassy again, light N breeze, ESE swell around 4ft (1.3m) with an 11-second period (energy 411 – moderate to strong). That longer period means better shape but at a beach/breakwater it can get a bit straight. Still, with clean conditions, it’s a go.
After that, Sunday the 20th goes flat again, and from Monday 21st through Saturday 26th it’s all poor – onshore winds and weak swell. A brief clean window on Sunday 27th September morning with cross-off wind and 5ft (1.5m) NE swell (period 7 seconds, energy 206) – surfable but nothing special. The afternoon brings 10ft (3.0m) NE swell (879 energy) – way too big for this break unless you’re an expert. Beginners should stay away from anything over 5ft (1.5m), and over 8ft (2.5m) is expert-only.
Water temp is average for the season. No anomaly noted.
Best windows: Friday 18th morning and Saturday 19th morning. The rest is mostly a skip.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
