Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Nungas has in store for us.
First up, the water's sitting at a warm 82°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a nice bonus.
We've got a solid run of surf kicking off from Sunday afternoon. It's not a classic clean-offshore scenario, but a steady cross-off breeze from the SE will keep things workable. The real story is the swell. We're looking at a consistent 5ft of SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period, packing some serious punch with combined energy readings in the strong range (1203). That combo of long-period groundswell and a reef-and-point setup like Nungas is a beautiful thing – the waves will have shape and power. Keep in mind, with that size and power, it's starting to push past the beginner zone. The best bet in this opening window is definitely Sunday afternoon.
As we roll through Monday and Tuesday, the swell stays in that 5ft to 6ft sweet spot, still from the SW/SSW with those lovely long periods between 14 and 16 seconds. Monday morning has a bit more breeze at 12 mph, but the afternoon cleans up nicely. Tuesday afternoon is looking cleaner again with a lighter SSE breeze at 9 mph and combined energy climbing back over 1000.
Now, Thursday morning the 9th is a real standout. The swell ticks up to 7ft from the SSW with a 15-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSE at only 6 mph, which is about as good as it gets for clean conditions. The combined energy is pumping at 1806. This is proper, powerful groundswell for experienced surfers. That theme continues into Friday the 10th with 6ft of SW swell and 16-second intervals, combined energy hitting 1926. These days are the ones to circle on the calendar.
There's a little lull heading into the weekend of the 12th and 13th, with the swell dropping right off to 3ft on Monday morning, but don't write it off. By Monday afternoon the 13th, a new pulse of SSW swell arrives with a *very* long 20-second period. The size is only 4ft, but that period is something else – real energy for the point.
The second week is punchy. From the 14th onward we see a lot of 5ft to 7ft SW swell with periods holding at 15 to 17 seconds. The wind stays cross-off, so conditions remain manageable. The energy levels are consistently high, regularly hitting the 1700-2000+ mark. Sunday the 19th morning is another highlight, with a clean-looking 7ft SSW swell and light SE winds. There are plenty of waves to be had through this stretch, just keep an eye on those bigger days – anything over 7ft is expert territory. The entire run looks promising, but that long-range stuff is always a little less certain.
Stay safe out there.

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.
