Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
To be honest, Nuns Beach is going through a proper flat spell. The first week is a total bust – tiny, weak waves and the wind is all over the shop. From now through the first week of July, you can leave the board in the shed.
You get a little pulse around Monday the 13th of July morning, with the swell hitting 5ft from the ESE. The combined energy is moderate at 235, so there’s some weight behind it. But the wind is a drag – a moderate cross-shore from the ENE is going to chop it up. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be lumpy and weak. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it drops right back down. There are a few clean windows around the 16th of July with light cross-offshore breezes, but the swell is tiny, barely hitting 2ft.
The water is a real surprise here – it’s 77°, which is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. The place feels like a warm bath.
If you’re really keen, maybe check the mornings of the 15th or 16th of July for a tiny clean one, but don’t get your hopes up. It’s a quiet stretch for Nuns Beach.
Rusty.

Information about the Nuns Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nuns Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nuns Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nuns Beach 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 (Nuns Beach) 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 Nuns Beach 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.
