Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got some serious wait on our hands at Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang). Right off the bat, it's a bit of a dud. The early days are pretty cooked with onshore winds and poor conditions. This is a standout advanced reef break that demands clean conditions, and it's just not getting them early on.

From Saturday the 5th right through to the end of the first week, we have a "poor surf conditions" label that hangs around until Monday the 7th. It turns into "marginal" then but still not worth paddling out for. This is essentially a dead period for decent waves.

The real story starts to build from the middle of the second week. Hold out for the 15th of September. That Tuesday morning, we have glassy conditions with a 6ft SSW swell pushing good energy (1321). It's still a bit of a risk with thunderstorms about, but the glass is the key for this reef. This is a promising start but not the absolute best we’ll see.

The true standout, no question, is the 16th of September. Wednesday morning delivers a clean 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 19-second period, packing serious power (3937). And the wind is offshore from the NNW. That's the recipe for perfection at a reef like this. Wednesday afternoon is glassy, too, with 8ft and similar energy. That day is the absolute pick of the window. It’s going to be big, powerful, and lined up perfectly. This is not one for the beginners; over 8ft is expert territory here, and with that long period, it will be a freight train on this reef.

The good run keeps rolling. The 17th remains excellent with glassy conditions and a 7ft SSW swell (2078), and the 18th and 19th keep that glassy theme going with solid, strong energy pushing through.

Towards the very end of the 20th, it starts to turn a bit cross-onshore again, losing that pristine quality. So, the window is tight, but when it hits, it hits hard.

Water temp is around 85°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.

Overall, it’s a slow start, but the 16th and the days immediately following are going to be next level for those who can handle it. Don't bother before the 15th.

Rusty.
