The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for our little stretch of coast. Gotta be straight with you, it's gonna be a lean couple of weeks. The surf just isn't playing the game for a while.
We're looking at a long dry spell, really quiet for the first week or so. The water temp's sitting around 19°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
First up, we've got Tuncurry-North Wall. For the first few days, the swell is tiny, only 0.7ft to 1ft. There's barely any energy pushing in. It's just not worth getting the wetsuit wet. The wind might be clean, but there's nothing to ride.
Even by Wednesday the 9th, we get a little pulse from the ESE with a period of 13 seconds, but the swell height is still a pathetic 1.0ft. You'd be chasing shadows.
Finally, there's a flicker of hope on Thursday the 10th. We get a 2ft swell from the ESE, and the period is a modest 10 seconds. The wind is blowing offshore from the SW at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. The notes say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's the best we've got, but that's not saying much.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. There's a brief spike on Monday the 14th when the swell hits 5ft, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds and the wind is onshore. That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The outlook doesn't improve much. There's another mention of "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" on Saturday the 19th, with a 3ft swell but again, a short 5 second period.
So, the bottom line is: there's nothing to get excited about for the next 16 days. It's a flat spell, plain and simple. Keep the board in the shed and maybe clean the wax off. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a long wait.
Rusty.
