Nungas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, it's Rusty again, but I'm switching over to feet for you. This is the same outlook for Nungas over the next couple of weeks.

Nungas is a reef and point break, exposed to the southwest swell. Water temp is about 82°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. You'll likely see some other folks out there sometimes.

It all kicks off on Saturday the 11th, and it's a beauty. Clear skies, clean conditions, with a solid 5 ft groundswell out of the southwest with a 14-second period. That's a long-period swell, so it's got some real juice. The combined energy is strong at 1124. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph, keeping things glassy. This is the one to get in on.

Sunday the 12th morning drops to about 4 ft, but the wind goes pure offshore from the ESE. Clean and fun, with energy at 485. The afternoon still holds at 3 ft with a light cross-off.

Monday the 13th keeps it clean but smaller, with 3 ft in the morning and only 2 ft in the afternoon, but with a very long 20-second period.

Tuesday the 14th brings the power back. The morning has 6 ft of SSW swell at 18 seconds, energy at 2008. By the afternoon it's 6 ft, same long period, and energy hitting 2544. The wind is cross-off and clean. This one's for the experienced crew.

Wednesday the 15th holds at 7 ft, period dropping from 17 to 16 seconds, but still huge energy over 2200 in the morning. Clean and cross-off winds, but this is big wave stuff.

Moving into the second week, Thursday the 16th is back to 5 ft with a solid 15-second period. The swell stays around 5 ft to 5 ft with good period through the weekend.

Sunday the 19th afternoon is another standout. The swell direction is SSW again, 5 ft but with a very long 20-second period, and energy jumps to 2150. Clean winds make for a powerful afternoon.

Monday the 20th is a big one. The morning hits 8 ft from the SSW at 17 seconds – experts only, with energy at a massive 3655. The afternoon is 7 ft, still pumping at 2862.

Tuesday the 21st is still excellent, with 6 ft dropping to 6 ft in the afternoon, both clean.

There's a mellow patch from Wednesday the 22nd to Thursday the 23rd, with the swell dropping to 4 ft and then 3 ft, and the energy falling off.

But it comes roaring back. Friday the 24th afternoon has 5 ft and a 14-second period, energy building to 1698. Then Saturday the 25th is a true standout. The morning has 7 ft of SSW groundswell at 17 seconds, and the energy is thumping at 2853. The afternoon holds steady at 7 ft with a 16-second period. Both sessions are clean with cross-off winds from the SSE. This is the top pick for the end of the run.

Sunday the 26th wraps it up with another excellent day, 7 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon, both with solid period and clean conditions.

Lots of swell on the menu, and it's mostly clean. The standouts are the Saturday the 11th opener and the Saturday the 25th for that big, powerful swell. Watch for those long-period sets at the point – they'll have some serious push.
