The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang) for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a struggle. Thursday the 27th of August starts with a 4ft SSW swell, but it’s cross-on and marginal, so don’t expect much. Friday the 28th bumps up to 7ft from the same direction, but it’s still onshore and messy. The energy is moderate to strong, reading around 2146 to 2791, but the wind is killing it.
Saturday the 29th is a total write-off – risk of thunderstorms and onshore winds, with the swell dropping to 5ft. The energy is still moderate (932 to 855), but it’s poor. Sunday through Tuesday is more of the same: marginal conditions, swell between 3ft and 8ft, and the wind not cooperating. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Now, the standout. The best window is shaping up for Thursday the 3rd of September. We’ve got a 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the wind is glassy – it’s going to be clean and smooth. The combined energy is moderate at 894, but the quality is expected to be very good. This is a reef break, so it’ll handle that long-period swell well, but it’s an advanced spot. The size is manageable for good surfers.
Friday the 4th of September also starts glassy in the morning with a 5ft SSW swell, but the wind goes cross-on in the afternoon, so get out early. After that, from the 5th through the 11th, it’s a mixed bag – onshore winds, marginal surf, and the swell hangs between 4ft and 6ft. The energy is moderate, but it’s not worth getting excited about.
Bottom line: your best bet is Thursday the 3rd of September for the cleanest, glassy conditions. The rest of the run is mostly a wait-and-see. Don’t stress about the first week – it’ll come around.
Rusty.
