The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what the next sixteen days are serving up for Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang). It's a reef break, so it's picky with direction.
Starting off from Tuesday the 8th of September, there's swell in the water, but the wind is going to chew it up for a long stretch. The water temp is around 85°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Look, from Tuesday the 8th all the way through to Sunday the 20th, it's mostly a frustrating wait. The wind is hammering in from the ESE to SSE, onshore and messy, with a lot of thunderstorm risk thrown in. The swell has some real grunt – we're talking a combined energy up to 3872 by Saturday the 12th with 7ft of SW swell – but with that onshore breeze, it's just a jumbled up mess. It's a classic "looks better than it rides" scenario. Not worth paddling out for.
But hang in there, because the end of the run looks tasty. Thursday the 17th of September shows a change. A light cross-offshore breeze from the West cleans everything up. You'll have 6ft of SSW swell with a 15 second period. The report says "clean" and "excellent for experienced surfers", and that's the kind of description that gets the blood pumping. It'll be a quality session for the dedicated few.
The real standout, though, is Tuesday the 22nd of September. This one's the pick of the bunch. The morning session has a light cross-offshore breeze from the North, and 4ft of S swell with an incredibly long 18-second period. That's pure, clean groundswell energy (combined energy of 2135). The afternoon is even better – 5ft of SW swell at 19 seconds, with clean conditions and a light NW cross-offshore wind. The energy jumps to 2898. This is a date with destiny for anyone who can make it – long, lined-up waves on that reef. It's far out, but the forecast is pointing to a beauty.
So, the deal is: a solid run of rough days, then two absolute windows of opportunity on the 17th and, best of all, the 22nd of September. Make a plan for those.
Rusty.
