Nanarup Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Right, let's have a look at what's on the cards for Nanarup Beach. We've got a solid run of swell coming through, but it's a mixed bag with the wind, so you'll need to pick your moments.

The big story here is a long period SSW groundswell that's going to be pulsing in over the next couple of weeks. It's not a tiny event either, with the combined wave energy climbing from moderate values into the strong and very strong range, topping out at a massive 59,838 on the 9th of August. That's a lot of power. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The best bet for the first week is definitely Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning kicks off with clear skies, a light NNE breeze blowing cross-off, and a clean 8ft SSW swell. The combined energy is a solid 1,962. It's a bit on the bigger side for beginners at over 5ft, but for experienced surfers, it's excellent. The afternoon keeps the same vibe, dropping to 7ft and still clean. This is the standout.

Monday the 3rd of August morning is also worth a paddle. We've got a clean 4ft swell with a light NNW offshore wind and a period of 15 seconds. It's a smaller day, but it will be very good. The combined energy is a moderate 739.

The following week has some promise, but the confidence drops a bit. Wednesday the 5th of August looks clean morning and afternoon with a 8ft and 8ft SSW swell and offshore winds. The energy is moderate to strong.

Now, a word of caution. From the 8th of August, things get serious. The swell pushes past 10ft, and the wind turns onshore and strong. Saturday the 9th of August is a beast, with a 21ft to 26ft SSW groundswell and a combined energy reading of 49,205. The forecast says it's too big for this break. Honestly, with that size and the onshore wind, it's going to be a washing machine. This setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfing.

The tail end of the run, around the 14th and 15th of August, is another big swell event. We're looking at 15ft to 18ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is huge. It's another one for experts only, and even then, it's a massive call.

So, to wrap it up: grab Sunday the 2nd of August for the best all-round conditions. The morning of Monday the 3rd is a solid second pick for a cleaner, smaller wave. The rest of the window has waves, but you'll be battling the wind or the size. Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
