The Lowdown
Nungas (Imperial)
Alright, mates, we’ve got a slow start here at Nungas. The first few days are pretty average, with only small, marginal surf all through Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th. The swell is hanging around 2 ft to 3 ft from the SSW, which is a bit weak, and the cross-off wind from the ESE and SE keeps things clean but not exciting. The water is a warm 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice touch.
Tuesday the 28th is where things start to feel a little better. The swell picks up to 3 ft, still a bit small, but the period is a long 16 seconds, which means some real groundswell energy is starting to show. The combined energy is moderate at 496, and by Tuesday afternoon, with a light breeze, it’s starting to look clean. It’s still not a stand-out, but it’s a sign of what’s coming.
Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are still building. The swell hits 4 ft on Wednesday, but the real jump comes on Thursday afternoon. That’s when the combined energy surges to 1156, and the swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a 15-second period. The wind is light and the conditions are clean. This is the first real taste of good surf.
Now, Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August are the true standouts. Friday morning sees 4 ft of SSW swell at 17 seconds, with a combined energy of 1298. The wind is a gentle cross-off, and the conditions are clean. The real prize, though, is Saturday the 1st of August. The morning session is the best of the run. We’ve got 5 ft of long-period SSW groundswell, a light cross-off breeze, and the wave energy is pumping at 1511. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, with clean, lined-up waves. The swell is a bit over 5 ft, so it’s getting hefty for the groms, but for anyone who’s been around, it’s game on. Nungas is a reef and point break, which is perfect for this long-period groundswell, so the waves will wrap in nicely.
After that, the swell settles a bit, but Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd of August still pack a punch. Sunday morning has 6 ft of swell, but the combined energy is massive at 1755, and the wind is still manageable. That’s a heavy day, over 8 ft on the Sunday afternoon, pushing into expert territory. The swell stays strong through the next week, but the wind remains cross-off, so the quality is always clean. The best of the second week looks like Saturday the 8th of August, with 6 ft in the morning and 7 ft in the afternoon, both with excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The combined energy is over 2000, so it’s powerful. This is a long-range promise, so it’s not set in stone, but it’s looking tasty.
Crowds can be a factor at Nungas, so you might be sharing the peak, especially on the better days. But with this much quality on offer, it’s worth the paddle.

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.
