Non Nuoc Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Non Nuoc area over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking about as flat as a pancake out there. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. We’ve got a whole lot of days with tiny, weak waves and not much energy behind them. The best you’re going to get is a few small, rideable waves, but it’s nothing to get excited about. There’s a long dry spell here with no real standout surf, so if you’re hanging for a wave, you’ll be working for it.

Let’s start with the only session that even gets a nod. Sunday morning, August 9th, at Non Nuoc (sandbar). We’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell rolling in from the ENE with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have some shape to it, but it’s barely any size. The combined swell energy is weak (90), so don’t expect any push. The wind is offshore from the SW at 9 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s a beginner-friendly spot with a fairly consistent break, but crowds are possible. Honestly, it’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.

After that, nothing else in the whole 16-day window is worth a mention. We’re talking about a massive gap from Sunday afternoon on August 9th all the way through to Monday, August 24th with no decent surf. The rest of the records show either tiny waves, poor conditions, or a mix of light onshore or glassy wind with no energy. From Monday morning, August 10th, it’s all poor surf conditions with swell heights mostly between 0.3 ft and 2 ft, and the combined energy is often in the single digits or teens. The wind does go glassy a few times, like on Sunday afternoon, August 16th, and Thursday morning, August 20th, but the swell is too small to do anything with.

There’s a bit of a tease on Thursday afternoon, August 20th, with a glassy 1 ft wave, but it’s the same story – no power. The last few days, from August 21st to the 24th, we’ve got some moderate offshore breezes, but the swell is still tiny and weak. For a beach-and-sandbar setup like this, with such small, weak swell and light winds, you’d honestly have a better time on a kite than a paddleboard if you’re really desperate to get on the water. But for pure surfing, it’s a no-go.

Bottom line: mark Sunday morning, August 9th as your only chance for a very small, clean paddle. The rest of the outlook is a blank run, which is more normal for this area when the swell just isn’t showing up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
