Righto, let’s have a look at Nungas. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, so this reef and point setup is going to be working for a good stretch. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
We kick off Tuesday the 7th with a clean 5ft south-west groundswell, period a very long 16 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off, keeps it tidy. Combined wave energy is moderate at 998, and the sets will have some punch but plenty of lulls. It’s a beginner-friendly wave at this size, and crowds are sometimes a factor here. Manageable.
Wednesday the 8th sees the swell bumping up. Morning comes in at 6ft from the south-west, period 15 seconds, and the energy jumps to moderate-strong at 1604. Wind picks up a notch, still cross-off. By the afternoon we’re hitting 7ft, energy at 1910, and the surf report flags excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s getting into expert territory, but if you’ve got the skill, that’s the standout of the first week. The long period groundswell means it’ll reel off nicely down the point.
Thursday the 9th holds 7ft in the morning, dropping to 6ft in the afternoon, both from the south-west with a light breeze. Energy stays strong through the day. Friday the 10th has a slight dip in the morning to 5ft, then back up to 6ft in the afternoon with a solid 16-second period. All clean.
Saturday the 11th sees the swell ease a little, 5ft in the morning then 5ft again in the afternoon, period dropping to 14 seconds. Still clean, still cross-off wind. Sunday the 12th, the swell backs right off to 4ft, energy down to 529. It’s still rideable but nothing special.
There’s a bit of a lull from Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 14th morning – small stuff, 2ft to 4ft, not worth paddling out for. But Tuesday afternoon the 14th comes back with a 4ft south-south-west groundswell, period 19 seconds, and the energy ramps back to moderate at 1348. That’s a sneaky good session if you can get out.
Wednesday the 15th is the next true standout. Morning starts at 6ft, builds to 7ft in the afternoon from the south-south-west, period 16 seconds. The afternoon has light breeze and excellent conditions for experienced surfers, energy at 1958. That’s a quality day, but only for those comfortable with overhead surf.
From Thursday the 16th through Saturday the 18th, we’ve got a steady run of 4ft to 5ft south-west swell, period around 14-15 seconds. Clean, cross-off wind, consistent energy in the moderate range. Good fun for all levels.
Sunday the 19th lights up again. Morning is 6ft, afternoon 6ft, both from the south-west with that long 15-second period. Light breeze in the afternoon, excellent for experienced surfers, energy at 1358. Another one to circle.
Monday the 20th drops back to 5ft and 5ft, nothing flash. Tuesday the 21st is small, 4ft and 3ft, both clean but weak. Wednesday the 22nd morning has a 5ft south-south-west swell, period 16 seconds, but the wind is up to a moderate cross-off, and energy is moderate at 1070. Worth a look but not a standout.
So the best on offer? Wednesday the 8th afternoon and Wednesday the 15th afternoon. Both are 7ft-plus, long period, light wind, excellent quality – but strictly for the experienced crew.

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.
