Non Nuoc Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, looking at the surf prospects for Non Nuoc. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead, with a real gap in the action. The first surfable waves don’t show up until Wednesday the 5th of August, and even then, it’s not much to write home about. That’s a solid few days of flat or very weak conditions right off the bat.

So, Wednesday the 5th of August, we finally see a little pulse. The morning has some 1ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. The wind is offshore from the SW, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (111). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Afternoon picks up a little, still 1ft, but the energy jumps to 192, still moderate, and the wind stays offshore from the W. It’s clean, but tiny.

Thursday the 6th of August morning is where it starts to get interesting. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the ENE, still that long 18-second period. The wind is glassy from the NW, which is a major positive – the surface will be perfect. The combined energy is now a solid moderate 384. It’s not big, but it will be clean and there’s enough push for a grovel board. The water temperature is 86°F, which is about average for the time of year.

Now, the standout window is Friday the 7th of August through to Saturday the 8th of August. Friday morning we’ve got 4ft of ENE swell, that same long 18-second period, and offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is strong (918). The morning is clean, and the afternoon is glassy with just a light cross-offshore breeze. Saturday morning holds 4ft from the ENE, still 18 seconds, with offshore wind from the W, and the energy is still strong at 890. Saturday afternoon goes glassy again with 4ft. This is the best of the lot – clean, consistent enough, and that long period will give some nice lines at the sandbars. Keep in mind, with a period over 15 seconds, this groundswell might break a bit straight on a beach break, but it will still offer some fun walls. The spot is fairly consistent, and crowds are possible sometimes.

After Saturday, it drops right off. Sunday the 9th of August morning has a tiny 1ft from the NE with a shorter 13-second period, and the energy is weak (66). The rest of the 16-day window is poor, with mostly 0.3ft to 1ft slop and moderate to fresh offshore winds making it clean but with no power. From Sunday the 9th onward, it’s a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for.

So, the clear pick of the period is Friday the 7th of August and Saturday the 8th of August. Go for the morning sessions for the cleanest conditions. The swell is manageable for most, not too big for beginners, and the wind is right.

Rusty.
