Non Nuoc Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a window of clean, fun-sized swell coming through mid-week. The pick of the whole period is Friday morning, August 7th—that’s just a couple of days away. For that session, we’re looking at a solid 4ft swell from the ENE, with a long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s heading straight into Non Nuoc. The wind is offshore from the WSW, light and clean, so the lines should be holding up nicely. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a solid 771 (moderate wave energy), which means there’s some real push behind it. This is a sandbar setup, and it’s fairly consistent, so you should get a decent number of waves. The water’s sitting at 87°, which is about normal for this time of year—nothing wild there.

The afternoon on Friday, August 7th, is also a standout. The swell drops slightly to 4ft, still from the ENE, but the wind goes glassy—SW, 3 mph. That’s the kind of surface you dream about. The energy is still strong at 741. It’s a little smaller, but the glassy conditions will make it feel like a dream. Saturday, August 8th, follows through with clean offshore winds in the morning and afternoon, swell holding around 3ft from the ENE, with energy between 560 and 639 (moderate wave energy). The swell period is a long 17 seconds, so the waves will have some shape and punch, but it’s not too big for a decent intermediate.

After Saturday, things drop off fast. Sunday morning, August 9th, has only 1ft of swell and the energy is just 91 (weak wave energy). The wind is offshore, but it’s just not enough swell to get excited about. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast period on August 20th, the swell stays tiny—mostly 0.6ft to 2ft, with periods dropping to 5-7 seconds. The combined energy never climbs above 50. That’s a long, flat gap. Wind is occasionally offshore or glassy, but there’s just no wave to work with. It’s a real dead run from the second week of August onwards.

So, to sum it up: the best is Friday morning, August 7th, with the 4ft groundswell and light offshore. The glassy Friday afternoon, August 7th, is a close second. After Saturday, August 8th, it’s a waiting game. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Non Nuoc, so you might have a few out, but with that quality, it’ll be worth it.

Rusty.
