Nanarup Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Nanarup Beach.

Alright, we’ve got a bit of a rough start here. The next few days are going to be a write-off, I’m telling you. Sunday and Monday are a mess, with strong winds from the west and southwest, and the swell is just too stormy and blown out. You’re looking at 6ft to 13ft of slop, with the combined energy getting up to a massive 5168 and even 2205, but it’s all cross-on or cross-off with howling wind. Not worth paddling out.

Things start to calm down Tuesday morning. The 28th of July, we’ve got a clear sky, a light offshore wind from the SE, and a 8ft swell from the south at 14 seconds. The combined energy is still high at 2558, but the clean conditions and that offshore flow make it a decent look, though the records say the surf quality is only marginal. The afternoon stays similar, but with a bit of cross-on wind, so it’s not as clean.

Wednesday the 29th is the real standout for this first week. Morning sees some clouds, a light offshore from the NNW, and a solid 7ft south swell at 12 seconds. The combined energy is 2122, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one. The swell is a bit much for beginners over 5ft, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be fun. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.

Thursday the 30th is also a good call, with a clean 4ft to 4ft swell from the south-southwest, 15-second period, and a moderate offshore NNW wind. Combined energy sits around 796 to 1180, and the conditions are described as very good. Friday the 31st picks up again, with a 6ft to 7ft swell, 16-second period, and a moderate offshore wind. That afternoon session on Friday looks excellent for experienced surfers with a 2441 energy reading.

Then we hit a wall again. Saturday the 1st of August through Sunday the 2nd, it’s all cross-on winds and poor surf.

The next massive standout comes on Friday the 7th of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Morning and afternoon both show a 10ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, very long period groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 5991 and 5454. The wind is a light to gentle breeze from the WNW, cross-off, and the conditions are rated excellent for experienced surfers. This is big, powerful, clean surf, but 10ft is over 8ft, so it’s strictly for experts. This kind of long period swell will be better at the point or reef, but at a beach break like Nanarup, it might break a bit straight. Still, it’s the best energy of the whole forecast.

Saturday the 8th of August holds onto that energy, with 8ft to 10ft swell and 16-second period, combined energy of 3606 to 4735, with clean conditions from a cross-off wind. Another day for the experienced crew.

Sunday the 9th gets messy again, with a huge 13ft to 12ft swell and a fresh cross-on wind, and Monday the 10th is a complete write-off with a 15ft swell and 25 mph winds.

So, the standout days are Wednesday the 29th of July for a solid, clean, offshore session, and then Friday the 7th of August for the big, powerful groundswell if you’ve got the skill. The 7th of August is a long-range call, so less certain, but it looks promising.

Rusty.
