Nungas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Nungas for the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef and point break, beginner-friendly, and pretty open to swell. Water temp is about 80°, right where it should be for this time of year.

We’ve got a solid run of surf starting now. The real highlight comes in the middle of next week. Sunday the 9th gets things going with a 8ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, cross-off wind from the SSE at 9 mph, clean but not epic. Wave energy is strong at 2486.

Monday the 10th steps it up. Morning has 6ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, light cross-off breeze from the SE at 6 mph, clean, energy at 2702. By afternoon, swell jumps to 8ft at 18 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, light wind, excellent for experienced surfers. Energy pumps at 4129. Tuesday the 11th is the big day: 10ft SSW swell at 17 seconds in the morning, clean with a gentle 9 mph cross-off, energy at 4394. Afternoon hits 10ft at 16 seconds, energy roaring at 5798. This is heavy, powerful surf – not for beginners.

From Wednesday the 12th through Saturday the 16th, the swell settles to 5ft to 7ft, periods 14 to 17 seconds. Winds stay light to gentle, cross-off, so the waves will be clean. The reef and point handle that long-period energy well. Energy stays moderate to strong, 1785 to 2331. Good solid surfing.

Second week kicks off Monday the 17th with 6ft, a bit less energy. Tuesday the 18th morning brings 5ft SW swell at 18 seconds – interesting long-period but smaller. Afternoon jumps to 8ft at 16 seconds with a moderate 12 mph breeze, still cross-off. Wednesday the 19th looks big: 8ft in the morning, 10ft in the afternoon, winds up to 16 mph moderate breeze, but cross-off keeps it clean. Energy is massive, 4578 to 4714. Thursday the 20th morning is another standout: 10ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, wind drops to 9 mph, cross-off, energy at 4027. That’s a top session for experts. Afternoon gets a little cross-shore chop, so go early.

Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd stays consistent: 7ft to 8ft swells, clean, moderate to light winds. Energy stays above 2000, peaking at 3593 Sunday afternoon. Then Monday the 24th finishes strong: 10ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, light 6 mph SE breeze in the morning, energy at 4924. Afternoon holds at 8ft with similar conditions.

Best bets: Tuesday the 11th and Thursday the 20th morning – big, clean, powerful groundswell with light winds. Beginners, stay on the beach those days. Crowds are possible at Nungas, so get there early.

Rusty.
