Nanarup Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get into it. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead for Nanarup Beach, but it's a story of two halves. The first week has some real gems, then things get mixed up with some big, windswept swell before a clean finish.

The forecast kicks off on Sunday, July 5th. It's not huge, but it's clean. Morning sees a 4ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNW. The water's sitting at 64°, which is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (569), so it's a fun, manageable size for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The afternoon stays clean with a 3ft swell and lighter offshore winds from the north. Good times to start.

Monday the 6th is a wipeout. The wind swings onshore from the south, blowing 18 mph, making a mess of the 5ft swell. The energy jumps up (1451), but it's not worth a paddle. The afternoon isn't much better.

Tuesday the 7th is the first standout. The morning is glassy with a slight cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, and the swell pushes up to 8ft from the SSW with a long 17-second period. The energy is pumping (3170). This is a big, powerful groundswell, and at this size, it's one for experienced surfers only. The long period means it'll be wally and lined up, perfect for a beach break like this, but the gaps between sets will be long. The afternoon drops a little but stays solid at 7ft.

Wednesday the 8th is another beauty. A light cross-offshore from the NNE in the morning with a 5ft, 15-second SSW swell. Energy is still strong (1558). The afternoon is even better with a 7ft, 16-second SSW swell and a light offshore from the NNW. Clean, lined-up waves.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th fade out. Thursday has waist-high 4ft swell with a cross-offshore, but the energy drops (720). Friday is small and gets blown out by a strong WSW wind.

Now, Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are for the big dogs only. A massive 12ft to 10ft SSW/S swell rolls in, with energy readings through the roof (4014 to 6951). The problem is the wind is a strong cross-onshore from the SW and SSW. It's a wild, lumpy mess. This is more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle session.

The best session of the entire window lands on Monday the 13th. The morning is dead glassy, with zero wind, and a 6ft, 10-second S swell. The energy is strong (1975). That glassy, clean surface on a decent-sized swell is a rare treat. The period is a bit short, so it won't have the punch of the bigger days, but for clean, fun waves, this is the one. The afternoon sees a crazy 18-second period swell come in at 5ft, but it has a light cross-shore bump.

Tuesday the 14th is another solid day. Clean conditions with a light cross-offshore from the north on a 7ft, 16-second SSW swell. Energy is strong (2337). This is a great, powerful groundswell with clean winds.

The next few days get mixed. Wednesday the 15th has a moderate offshore wind and a 5ft swell (833 energy), but it's not a standout. Thursday the 16th is a write-off with onshore winds. Friday the 17th is a bit messy with a chunky 7ft swell.

The final standout is Saturday the 18th. The morning looks excellent with a clean cross-offshore from the west and a 8ft, 14-second SSW swell. The energy is very strong (2830). This is a solid, clean swell for experienced surfers.

Sunday the 19th is a big one, with a 10ft S swell and a cross-offshore, but the wind is a bit stronger. The energy is massive (4466), but it's borderline for the wind. The forecast confidence for this one is lower as it's further out.

Monday the 20th closes the window with a strong onshore wind messing up the 8ft swell. Not a good note to end on.

Overall, the pick of the week is Tuesday the 7th for the big, clean groundswell, and Monday the 13th for the glassy, perfect conditions. The second week is less reliable, but Saturday the 18th looks promising.

Stay safe, catch some waves.
Rusty.
