The Lowdown

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.

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.
