The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—the next week and a bit is looking pretty flat and messy for Tuncurry-North Wall. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak slop with onshore winds chopping it up. The best you’ll find in the first week is some clean but tiny 1ft leftovers Wednesday afternoon, but honestly, you might be better off grabbing a coffee. The water temp is sitting around 65° which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’re looking at a solid gap of days with no real surf on offer. The NE windswell that tries to show up around the 7th and 8th gets hammered by strong onshore breezes—blowing 19-22 mph. The swell builds to 5-6ft, but it’s wind-blown and sloppy, more of a kite-surfing day than a paddling one. There’s moderate energy in that combo (300), but the quality is just not there.
The offshore breezes around the 10th and 11th clear the ocean right out, but we’re talking zero swell, so it doesn’t help us.
Then, mark your calendar for the morning of the 13th. This is the standout. A proper SE groundswell rolls in, 4ft at 10 seconds, with glassy conditions and a light ENE breeze. The energy reading jumps to 468—that’s strong wave energy for this spot. It’s a bit inconsistent, but when the sets come through, it’ll be clean and fun. The swell direction matches the optimum for this break (NE), which is a good sign. This is the pick of the period, no question.
The following morning, the 14th, still has some decent 4ft SE swell with glassy conditions, but the afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore. It’s worth an early session but won’t be as clean as the day before. After that, things taper off again into smaller, weaker surf for the rest of the window.
So, for the next 16 days, the 13th is your day. Maybe the 14th morning too. Promise of better things, but you gotta be patient.
Rusty.
