Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Tuncurry-North Wall over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag. The week kicks off with some decent, rideable surf on Friday the 10th – nothing huge, but clean and fun. After that the windows narrow quickly: there’s a long stretch of tiny or flat days, then a big pulse of swell that’s way too meaty for this break, and finally a glassy little gem right at the tail end. Stay patient.
Friday morning the 10th is your best early bet. Swell is 6.2 ft from the SE with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a solid, workable groundswell. Combined wave energy sits at 753 (moderate), and the wind is a light WSW at 3 mph, cross-off, keeping the surface clean. Water temp is 67.5°F, which is pretty average for the time of year – no weirdness there. Tuncurry-North Wall is a beach/breakwater setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s fairly consistent. Crowds? Yeah, they can be a problem here, but with conditions this tidy it’s worth dealing with a few heads. Friday afternoon looks similar with that SSE breeze, still clean.
Saturday the 11th starts dropping off. Morning sees 3.3 ft ESE swell, period 12 seconds – long period, which can make it a bit straight for a beachy, but wind is light NW, cross. The energy is still moderate (505), but the forecast signals marginal tide issues. Afternoon gets ugly with onshore ENE wind and poor conditions. Sunday the 12th is small and windy – morning has 2.6 ft ESE, 10 seconds, with a 12 mph W cross-off – still clean but weak (128 energy). Afternoon goes offshore WSW at 16 mph but only 2.3 ft – surfable, but ordinary.
From Monday the 13th through to Thursday the 16th it’s practically flat. Swell heights drop to 1 ft or less, some days zero energy. That’s a solid 4-day gap with nothing worth paddling for. The wind is fine, but there’s simply no push.
Then things get wild. Friday the 17th the swell jumps to 14.8 ft from the SE, period 11-12 seconds. Combined energy rockets to 5794 – that’s strong stuff. But the catch is the comment says it’s predicted to be too big for this break. For a beginner-friendly beach/breakwater, that’s just dangerous. Same deal Saturday the 18th (11.5 ft SE) and Sunday the 19th (9.8 ft SE). Unless you’re an expert with a death wish, stay out. Saturday afternoon the 19th drops to 8.2 ft but wind swings onshore – messy.
After that the swell eases. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see 4.3-4.9 ft SE, period 9 seconds, with offshore or cross
