The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. We've got a solid run of surf on the cards for Nungas. This reef and point break is set to fire with a consistent SW groundswell pushing through the whole outlook, and the winds are looking like a major bonus—staying cross-offshore for the vast majority of the forecast. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, nothing too wild there. The combined swell energy is strong to very strong, often in the thousands, which means there's plenty of power in the water.

The action kicks off on Thursday, 10 September. We're looking at a 6.2ft to 7.2ft SSW swell with a period of 15 to 17 seconds—that's a very long period groundswell, and at a point break like Nungas, it's going to wrap in beautifully. The wind's light to gentle cross-off, keeping the face clean. Thing is, this is solid size. Over 5ft, it's a fair step up for beginners, and when it hits that 7.2ft mark, it's proper expert territory. The morning on Friday, 11 September, brings a 6.9ft SW swell, still with those long 16-second intervals and clean cross-off winds. Saturday morning, 12 September, drops a little to 5.2ft but the quality stays high.

Sunday, 13 September, is a standout. The morning session sees a 5.6ft SW swell at a very long 18 seconds, with clean conditions, but the afternoon jumps to a solid 7.5ft SW swell at 18 seconds, producing a combined energy of 3693—that's pumping. That afternoon, however, the tide might get tricky, so pick your bank. Monday, 14 September, through to Wednesday, 16 September, stays in the 5.6ft to 6.6ft range, with the groundswell period staying long (14-16 seconds), all under those dreamy cross-off breezes.

Now, the second week. Thursday, 17 September, keeps the 6.2ft SSW swell rolling, and Friday, 18 September, backs off slightly to 3.9ft to 5.6ft, with lighter winds. The weekend of 19-20 September drops a little to 4.3ft to 5.2ft, but the period remains solid out of the SW.

The real highlight of the entire outlook might just be Monday, 21 September. We've got a 6.6ft to 6.9ft SW swell, with light, cross-off winds and periods of 14 to 15 seconds. The combined energy hits 1760 to 1818, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That's the one to circle on your calendar. Early morning on the 21st, with that clean, light breeze, is going to be magic.

Just a heads up, the swell does get over 5ft for most of this run. That means it's a bit much for beginners, and when it pushes past 8.2ft it's only for the pros. The long period nature of this swell (often over 15 seconds) means it will be more consistent and powerful, with longer lulls between sets, making the paddle out easier for those who are fit. The crowds at Nungas are listed as "sometimes" busy, so expect company, especially on the best days.

Overall, this is a rare stretch of consistent, clean, powerful SW groundswell. Lock in the 21st if you can.

Information about the Nungas Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Nungas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nungas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nungas surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Nungas) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Nungas may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
