The Lowdown
Alright fellas, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Nungas over the next couple weeks.
The first few days are underwhelming. From Friday the 24th through the end of July, we’ve got clean cross-off wind but the waves are nothing to write home about. Swell heights are around 3 ft to 4 ft, mostly from the SSW, and the energy is moderate (243-699). Water temp’s about 80°, which is normal for this time of year. You can get wet, but you won’t be bragging.
Things start to look up on Thursday the 30th of July, afternoon. Swell drops to 3 ft from the SSW, but the period jumps to 19 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell, and combined energy hits 1331, which is strong. Breeze stays light and cross-off. Nice and clean.
The real standout comes Saturday the 1st of August through Monday the 3rd of August. This is for experienced surfers only. Saturday pushes 5 ft SSW swell with light 6 mph cross-off winds and strong energy (1510-1685). Sunday jumps to 7 ft from the SSW by the afternoon, energy up to 2354 – powerful. Monday holds at 6 ft, still from the SSW-SW. This stretch is the best on offer. Beginners should steer clear – once it’s over 5 ft, it’s expert territory. With periods of 16-17 seconds, that’s proper groundswell that’ll wrap beautifully into this reef and point.
From Tuesday the 5th to Friday the 8th, we keep the size – 7 ft, 8 ft, 7 ft – all SSW-SW, all long period, all cross-off. Expert-level, powerful and clean. Combined energy sits well above 2000 on some days. It’s a solid run.
Nungas is a reef and point break, so that long period groundswell isn’t a problem – it’ll line up nicely. It breaks fairly consistently, but you can expect some company.
Best bets? The first few days are forgettable. From July 30th afternoon onward, it’s game on. The absolute pick is August 1st to 3rd – solid, clean, and powerful. Get it while it’s good.
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.
