Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Nungas.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but it’s a slow build. The first few days are a bit average, but the second half of the first week and into the second week is where the real fun kicks in. The water is sitting at a warm 82°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th are nothing to get too excited about. We’re looking at mixed conditions with a bit of cross-off wind. Saturday morning you’ll find a 5ft SW swell, long period at 15 seconds, but the energy is moderate (1186). The wind is a gentle breeze from the ESE, so it’s clean but not magic. The score is low, so it’s a “something to do” kind of day, not a “drop everything” day. Sunday drops off to 4ft and 3ft, so it’s even smaller.
Monday 13th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a 3ft SW swell with a moderate 12-second period, but the wind goes offshore from the ESE. That’s a clean look, but the swell is small. By the afternoon, the swell drops to 2ft but the period jumps to 20 seconds – a very long period groundswell. That’s all about the sets, but it’s tiny. The energy is moderate (483).
Tuesday 14th is where things start to wake up. The morning has a 6ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period, and the energy is ramping up nicely (2119). The afternoon is even better: 6ft SSW, 18 seconds, and the energy is strong (2544). The wind is a gentle cross-off, so it’s clean. This is solid, expert-friendly surf. The break is a reef and point, so that long period is going to line up well.
Wednesday 15th is the pick of the first week. The morning has 7ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with strong energy (2419). The afternoon is nearly as good at 7ft SSW, 16 seconds, and energy at 1953. Wind is a gentle cross-off all day. This is excellent, expert-level surf. Bring your big wave board.
Thursday 16th through Saturday 18th sees a steady, reliable 4ft to 5ft SW swell, long periods around 14 to 15 seconds, and consistent cross-off winds. The energy stays moderate to strong (1067 to 1213). It’s all very good, clean surf. Not the biggest, but super consistent.
Sunday 19th is interesting. The morning is a bit weak (4ft, 13 seconds), but the afternoon sees a 4ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period and strong energy (1673). That’s a classic groundswell – long waits, but the sets will be punchy. Recommended for experienced surfers.
Monday 20th is the real standout. Both morning and afternoon have a solid 8ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with the energy through the roof (3363 and 3315). The afternoon has a light breeze from the SSE, making it glassy on top of the size. This is a big, powerful swell – experts only. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook.
Tuesday 21st drops off a bit to 6ft and then 6ft, still good but not as clean. The wind stays cross-off.
From Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th, the swell settles into a nice, consistent 3ft to 5ft range, with periods around 12 to 15 seconds. The energy is moderate to moderate-strong. The wind is mostly cross-off, sometimes light, keeping it clean. It’s a long, drawn-out run of good, paddleable surf. There’s even some rain showers and a risk of a thunderstorm on the 25th and 26th, but the wind stays light, so it’s still worth a look.
Bottom line: The standout is Monday 20th July with that 8ft SSW groundswell and glassy conditions. If you’re an expert, that’s the day. For the rest of us, the whole second week from the 22nd onwards is a steady, clean run of fun waves.
Rusty.

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.
