Non Nuoc Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but don’t get your hopes up too early. There’s a big gap of dead-flat days at the start where you’d be better off putting the board away.

Right now through the first few days up until Friday the 10th of July, the surf at Non Nuoc is just plain weak. We’re talking ankle-snappers in the 0.7ft to 1ft range, mostly from the ESE or SE with super short periods of 4 to 5 seconds. The combined wave energy is tiny, barely registering (6 to 15), and even though there are some glassy or clean windows, the waves just aren’t there. It’s a write-off until later in the week.

Water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no worries there if you’re just floating around.

Now, the first real glimmer comes on Friday morning the 10th. Swell picks up a little from the ENE at 1ft, but with a period of 18 seconds—that’s proper long-period groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps to 67, and with a light offshore from the WSW, it’s clean but very small. It’s surfable, but don’t expect any barrels.

The standout, and I mean the only real highlight in this whole forecast, is Saturday the 11th of July. Early morning at Non Nuoc, we get an ENE groundswell pushing 3ft with a 18-second period and combined energy of 540—that’s moderate, decent punch. Winds are offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, making for clean, lined-up waves. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is your window. The swell will be a bit bigger later in the day, up to 4ft, but the wind gets stronger so the morning is your best bet. Remember, this long-period swell is better suited to the sandbars and points, and Non Nuoc is a sandbar setup, so it could hold shape. Crowds are possible here since it’s “sometimes” busy.

Sunday the 12th still has some leftover ENE swell at 3ft in the morning, with offshore winds, but the period drops to 15 seconds and energy falls to 280. It’s still rideable, but not the peak.

After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf from Tuesday the 14th right through to the end of the outlook on Tuesday the 21st of July. Swell heights stay below 2ft, periods are short, and energy is in the single digits or low teens. Offshore winds keep things clean, but there’s just no power. It’s a flat spell.

Bottom line: if you’re a beginner, the small stuff on Saturday might still be too big for you at over 3ft, but for everyone else, that Saturday morning is the only time worth paddling out. The rest of the window is a drought.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts.

Rusty.
