Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Nungas.
We’re kicking off Monday, July 6th, with a bit of a slow start. The swell is around 5ft from the SSW, but the wind’s coming in cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, which keeps things clean enough. The wave energy is actually pretty solid at 1291 (moderate), but the surf is marginal thanks to tide conditions. Water temp is sitting at 82°, about average for this time of year, so it’s a beautiful tropical bath.
Tuesday afternoon (July 7th) is where things start to click. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the SW, period stretches to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy pushing in. Combined energy hits 1009 (moderate) and the wind is a light SSE breeze at 9 mph. Conditions set up for very good surf. This is a solid session for intermediates who want clean, lined-up waves at this reef and point set-up.
Now, the real standout comes Wednesday morning, July 8th. Swell jumps to 6ft from the SW, period still a fat 15 seconds, and the combined energy is chunky at 1602 (moderate-strong). Wind is a gentle cross-off from the SE at 9 mph. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – big, powerful walls with plenty of push. The crowd factor at Nungas is listed as “sometimes” busy, so you might have a few out, but the quality makes it worth it.
Thursday July 9th afternoon also deserves a shout – 7ft from the SSW, 15-second period, combined energy of 1961 (strong). Wind drops to light SSE at 6 mph, giving you almost glassy conditions. Again, excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best window before the swell backs off a touch.
Friday July 10th afternoon keeps it chunky at 7ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, energy hitting 2033 (strong). Gentle cross-off breeze from the SSE. More excellent, powerful surf.
Sunday July 12th sees the swell drop to 3ft – 4ft, energy falls off to 539 (weak). Nothing to get excited about, but still rideable.
We then hit a lull into Monday July 13th with only 2ft – 2ft. That’s a gap of a couple days with barely any push.
But don’t walk away. From Tuesday July 14th, the swell rebuilds. By Wednesday July 15th morning, we’re back to 6ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, energy at 1647 (moderate-strong). Gentle cross-off wind. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers again.
The real second-week highlight hits Sunday July 19th and Monday July 20th. Sunday sees 7ft – 7ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, energy spiking to 2230 (strong). Then Monday morning, July 20th, we finally get offshore wind – ESE at 9 mph, clean and glassy – combined with 7ft from the SW and energy at 2034. That’s the best of the whole forecast. This is expert territory at that size, with long lines and power. Just be aware that long-period groundswell like this (15 seconds) can break a little straight at the beach sections, but the reef and point at Nungas will handle it beautifully.
Tuesday July 21st keeps the size up at 7ft – 8ft, but the conditions turn marginal with cross-off wind again.
Overall, Wednesday July 8th and Monday July 20th are your two true standouts. The first is more certain, the second is promising but further out. Keep an eye on that Monday – it could be the session of the month.
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.
