Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, looking at the surf on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next week and a half is going to be a battle for clean waves. We’ve got a solid run of SSW groundswell pushing through, but the wind is mostly going to be onshore, so the quality will be a fight. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout is on Thursday morning, the 13th of August. We get some glassy conditions at Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang) with the swell at 6 ft from the S, with a period of 12 seconds. The energy is solid at 1875 (moderate). It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle that long period swell well, but at that size, it’s for the experienced crew. That’s your best window for a clean, proper session.

Then on Friday the 14th of August, the morning is looking even better in terms of size. The swell is pushing 8 ft from the S, with a 16-second period, and it’s glassy with zero wind. The energy is strong at 2927 (strong). This is a big, powerful groundswell. For a reef break, that’s a serious setup, but at 8 ft, it’s getting into expert territory. This is the best-looking swell of the whole window, but it’s a heavy one.

We then have a bit of a lull in the quality, with marginal conditions and onshore wind for most of the next week. The swell dips a bit, but it’s not flat.

Looking further ahead, the following Monday morning, the 24th of August, is another one to circle. The wind drops to glassy again, with a clean 6 ft swell from the SSW, period of 14 seconds. The energy is back up a bit at 2088 (moderate). That’s a promising one for a clean session, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

For the most part, the wind is going to be your enemy here. The swell is consistent, but the onshore flow will keep it lumpy. The Thursday and Friday mornings are the real standouts for clean, powerful surf.

Rusty, signing off.
