Nungas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the outlook for Nungas.

We've got a solid run of swell on the cards for the next couple of weeks. It kicks off Friday the 7th and keeps pushin' through with a consistent, long-period SSW groundswell. The water temp is sittin' at 79.7°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real standout is Thursday the 20th. That's the one to circle on the calendar. We're lookin' at a pulse of 11.5 ft SW swell, with a long 18-second period, pumpin' some serious energy (combined energy of 7034-7191). It's a big one, though – over 8.2 ft, so this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The wind is light to gentle, cleanin' things up nicely, but it's a cross-off, so it's not pure glass. For a reef and point setup like Nungas, that long-period groundswell is going to line up beautifully, bendin' around the points and givin' you some proper, weighty walls. The direction from the SSW to SW is a good match for the optimum.

Before that, we've got a solid week of surf. Friday the 7th through the weekend, we're lookin' at 7.2 ft to 8.2 ft SSW swell, with a 16-second period. The energy is rampin' up from 2725 up to 3549. Wind is a steady cross-off from the SE, so the waves will be clean, but it's a bit of a paddle out. Monday the 10th brings a bit of a lull in the morning (6.2 ft), but the afternoon pumps back up to 8.2 ft, with the period stretchin' to 18 seconds. That afternoon session looks like a cracker.

Then Tuesday the 11th is a big day, with 9.8 ft SSW swell and a 17-second period, energy hittin' 5957. That's a powerful swell but again, big and only for the experienced crew. We get a bit of a dip Wednesday the 12th (6.2 ft-6.6 ft), before it builds back up to 8.2 ft for Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th. The weekend of the 15th sees the size drop a bit, down to 4.3 ft-4.9 ft, but still with that long period, so it'll be clean and fun for a wider range of surfers.

Into the second week, the swell takes a breather Monday the 17th, with a smaller 5.2 ft swell and a 14-second period, plus some stronger ESE wind. Tuesday the 18th picks up again with a 8.2 ft SW swell and 18-second period, energy at 4504. Then we're back into the big stuff from Wednesday the 19th, leadin' up to that Thursday the 20th standout. The 9.8 ft to 11.5 ft swell carries through Friday the 21st, before it starts to wind down on the weekend of the 22nd. This is a long, consistent run of proper groundswell. Nungas is fairly consistent, so it's a good bet.
