Non Nuoc Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here, laying it on the line. The 16-day outlook for Non Nuoc is a total bust. We are looking at a long stretch of flat, gutless conditions. The swell machine is off, and there’s nothing on the horizon to get excited about. It's a dry spell, plain and simple.

From the get-go, the afternoon of August 9th, it's a 1 ft dribble from the ENE. The combined energy is a weak 48, so you know it's just not happening. A moderate offshore wind is blowing, which would be nice if there were waves, but there just aren't any.

The next several days, through the 14th, are more of the same. Tiny waves under 1 ft, with energy readings in the 20s and 30s. Mornings have a light offshore breeze, keeping the water clean, but it's just grooming an empty lineup. It’s flat.

There's a hint of life on the morning of the 15th with a 1-2 ft swell from the SE, but the period is a short, choppy 7 seconds. It's not real surf. It's weak and disorganized and gone by the afternoon.

From the 16th through the 22nd, it's a dead zone. Swell heights never get above 1-2 ft, and the energy is constantly below 20. We have some glassy mornings, particularly on the 18th and 19th, but they are also the smallest days, with waves of just 0.3 ft. It’s a total lake.

Even the end of the window, the 23rd and 24th, offers a tease of a tiny swell from the northwest, but with a period of just 5 seconds, it's pure close-out slop. Useless.

Honestly, there is not one good surf day in this entire stretch. ‘Non Nuoc’ is an exposed sandbar, but with no swell in the water, it’s hopeless. This is a blank run. We'd be lucky to find a ripple. You might as well leave the board at home. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s no reason to be optimistic.

Rusty.
