The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the 16-day window for Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang).
The first week or so looks pretty average – lots of onshore wind and not much to get excited about. Water temp hangs around 85°F, which is normal for the time of year.
The real highlight is way out there on Friday the 25th. That morning, a solid 7ft swell rolls in from the SSW with a long 19-second period. That’s serious groundswell energy, and with combined wave energy close to 5000 (4975), it has plenty of push. Wind is light out of the ESE at just 6 mph, making it a clean cross-on. This reef will handle that long period nicely. It’s strictly for advanced surfers – 7ft with that power is too much for beginners. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so be ready to share.
Later that afternoon, it’s still solid at 8ft, but the wind turns onshore, so the morning is the one to target.
Before that, Sunday the 23rd offers a decent 6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period (moderate energy around 2956) and light wind. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best of the earlier stretch.
Most other days are a write-off – onshore breezes, storm risks, and choppy seas. There’s a long dry spell from the 14th to the 22nd where surf quality is poor and energy dips as low as 842.
Best on offer: Friday the 25th morning – powerful, clean, and long-period. The standout session of the forecast.
Rusty.
