Alright, let’s break this down in feet and miles. We’re lookin’ at Tuncurry-North Wall, a beach/breakwater setup that’s friendly for beginners. Water temp’s around 68°F, which is normal for the season – no weird shifts.

The first few days are a bust. From Sunday the 12th through Wednesday the 16th, it’s flat as a pancake. A tiny 1-foot bump here and there, but wind’s cross-off and energy’s pathetic – single-digit and low double-digit numbers. Not worth wettin’ a suit. Thursday the 16th afternoon shows a little pulse: 0.9m (3 feet) ESE swell, 9-second period, 132 energy. Still ordinary, but it’s a sign.

Friday the 17th morning is the first real call. Swell hits 2.5m (8 feet) from the SE, 9-second period, and energy jumps to 1014 – moderate wave energy. Wind’s cross-off from the SSE at 15 km/h (9 mph), keepin’ it clean. This is for the experienced crew only; that size is above the beginner limit. Crowds are likely, so get there early.

Saturday the 18th holds at 2.4m to 2.5m (8 feet) from the ESE, energy up to 1157 by afternoon. Wind’s a bit stronger at 20 km/h (12 mph), still cross-off, but conditions are marginal. Not a standout.

Then Sunday the 19th… holy moly. Swell blows up to 3.5m (12 feet) from the E, 11-second period, and energy is massive – 2701 to 2802. That’s strong wave energy. Wind’s light and cross-off, but the report says it’s too big for this break. Only the most gnarled experts should even think about it.

Monday the 20th morning is the gem. Swell drops to 2.5m (8 feet) from the E, 11-second period, energy at 1520, and the wind goes glassy – WNW at 5 km/h (3 mph). That’s clean, perfect conditions for the experienced. The break is fairly consistent, but expect crowds. This is the best session.

Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are strong too, with 1.8m to 2.0m (6 to 7 feet) E swell, 11-12 second periods, and clean offshore or glassy winds. Energy’s in the 841-900 range, good moderate wave energy. The Wednesday morning (22nd) is another glassy beauty.

Thursday the 23rd eases to 1.2m (4 feet) E swell, 11 seconds, 344 energy – still fun for intermediates. Friday the 24th has 1.1m to 1.5m (4 to 5 feet) ESE swell, 11-12 seconds, 535-614 energy, with clean winds. Solid days.

Saturday the 25th brings back size: 1.9m (6 feet) SE swell, 12-second period, energy at 1174, and glassy conditions in the afternoon. That’s a ripper for the experienced. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th fade to 0.5m to 1.3m (2 to 4 feet) SE swell, drop in energy, and moderate winds.

Best on offer? Monday the 20th morning – 2.5m (8 feet) E swell, 11-second period, glassy, 1520 energy. It’s a big, clean one for the experienced. Saturday the 25th afternoon is a close second with 1.8m (6 feet) SE, glassy, 927 energy.

Rusty.

Information about the Tuncurry-North Wall Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tuncurry-North Wall provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tuncurry-North Wall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tuncurry-North Wall surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tuncurry-North Wall) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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.
