The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang). This is a reef break that demands advanced skills, so don’t be thinking this is a learner’s wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the real action starts to build mid-week. The first few days are messy with onshore winds and a lot of stormy risk, keeping the surf quality down. The real standout period is Thursday, 27 August. That morning you’ve got a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, a cross-off breeze from the NE, and the combined energy is a solid 2163 (moderate-strong). By the afternoon, it goes glassy with a bigger 7ft SSW swell and an even higher energy reading of 2642. That’s the pick of the bunch – excellent, clean conditions for experienced surfers. The long period means the waves will have heaps of power and shape, typical of a reef break like this.
After that, the wind turns against us from Friday, 28 August, with onshore and cross-onshore breezes, making things choppy. The swell sticks around but the quality drops. There’s a brief flicker of hope on the morning of Saturday, 5 September, with a clean 4ft SSW swell and a cross-off wind from the WNW, but it’s a one-off before the wind goes bad again. The rest of the second week is a write-off with onshore winds and poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for that period.
If you’re around, make the most of Thursday, 27 August. That’s the day to be out there. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Rusty.
