Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for Nipussi (Nyang-Nyang) over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty quiet stretch. The surf kicks off Tuesday afternoon, the 21st of July, with a 5-foot SSW swell rolling in. It's got some decent energy behind it, sitting at 1032, but the wind is onshore from the SE at 9 mph, and the call is *marginal*. It’s not going to be pretty. The water temp is a warm 86°, which is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.

The next few days are a write-off, honestly. Wednesday through to Saturday morning is a mix of onshore winds, stormy conditions, and poor surf. The swell sticks around between 4 feet and 7 feet, but the wind is just ruining it. This is a long gap of nothing special.

We finally get a glimmer of hope on Sunday, the 26th of July. The afternoon session sees the wind go glassy from the WSW, and that 5-foot SSE swell cleans right up. The energy is strong at 841, and the forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." That’s the first real window for a decent paddle.

But the real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the first week of August. Mark it on your calendar. Saturday morning, the 1st of August, the wind drops to absolute glass, calm as can be. We’ve got a 5-foot SSW groundswell, with a 15-second period, and the energy is pumping at 1140. That’s "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers" territory. The reef at Nipussi is gonna love that long-period energy, offering up some proper shaped waves.

Then Sunday the 2nd keeps the magic rolling, with offshore winds from the N and NW, and that same strong 5-foot swell. The energy is still high, and the conditions are clean. Monday the 3rd is similar, with a gentle offshore keeping things tidy.

But hold onto your board, because Tuesday the 4th of August is the absolute peak of this forecast. The morning session sees a 5-foot S swell with a period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy explodes to 3215. The wind is clean, cross-offshore from the N. By the afternoon, it gets even better: a 6-foot S swell with a 19-second period, and the energy is a massive 4629. The wind is offshore from the NNW. This is a proper, powerful, long-period groundswell. It’s an expert-only kind of day, but for those in the know, it will be epic.

The run continues into Wednesday the 5th of August, with a solid 8-foot S swell. That’s getting big—definitely not for beginners. The wind is glassy, and the energy is still huge at 3569. It’s going to be a heavy, powerful day at the reef.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud, with a few average days. The real story is the first week of August, with a massive, clean, long-period S swell hitting Nipussi. The Tuesday and Wednesday of that week are the absolute standouts—powerful, clean, and for the experienced crew only.

Stay stoked.
