Non Nuoc Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you—the outlook for Non Nuoc over the next 16 days is pretty grim. There's a long stretch of no real surf to speak of. The first few days are flat, puny, and blown out from the wrong direction. We're not getting a proper wave until around the 27th of July, and even then, it's not exactly lighting up the scoreboard.

The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which is right around average for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze while you're not catching anything.

The first real pulse of energy shows up on the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of July. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the ENE, but the period is a decent 10 seconds, so there's a little bit of shape to it. The real kicker here is the wind: dead calm, glassy. That's a rare and beautiful thing. The wave energy is moderate (142), but the size is so small that it's really only for beginners or longboards. It's a sandbar break, fairly consistent, but expect crowds sometimes. The swell direction from the ENE is cross to the optimum NE, so it's not perfectly lined up, but the glassy conditions make it the best option on offer.

The afternoon of the 28th gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze, so the morning window is the only moment worth paddling out.

After that, the energy drops off again. The morning of the 29th of July has a clean cross-offshore wind from the SW, but the swell is down to 2 ft and the energy is weak (72). It's surfable but very ordinary. The 30th and 31st are even smaller, with cross-offshore winds keeping the surface clean, but you're struggling on a 2 ft or 1 ft wave.

Moving into the first week of August, there's a tiny spike of energy on the 2nd with a morning offshore wind from the WSW, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft from the SE. The energy is weak (23). The 3rd of August morning has a glassy calm, with a 1 ft swell from the SE, but it's not enough to ride.

The 4th and 5th of August bring some offshore winds, but the swell direction shifts to a very long period ENE swell (16-18 seconds). That long period makes the tiny 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft waves even more lethargic, and they'll break straight at a beach setup. The energy is moderate (39-42) for the size, but the wave height is virtually non-existent.

Honestly, the only standout in this whole 16-day window is the dead-calm, glassy morning of the 28th of July. If you can get out on a longboard, that's the call. The rest of the time, it's flat, weak, or messy. For a beginner, most of this is safe, but anything over 5 ft we don't see. For experts, there's nothing to work with. This is a blank run, and for Non Nuoc, that's just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
