Alright crew, Rusty here with the lowdown on Nuns Beach for the next couple of weeks.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the first ten days are a total bust. From Friday July 3rd right through to Sunday July 12th, the surf is just not there. Tiny, weak swell and messy conditions. A proper flat spell. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for July, sitting at about 73°F.
We finally get a pulse on Monday July 13th. The combined energy climbs to 97 in the morning and a moderate 173 in the afternoon. You’ll see waist-high waves around 3ft from the ESE. The wind goes light offshore from the WNW early, then cross-off in the afternoon, so it’ll be clean enough to pick off a few. It’s a sandbar setup that breaks fairly often, so there might be a little bank holding that 9-second period. It’s not epic, but it’s surfable.
Your best bet of the whole period is the morning of Wednesday July 15th. The swell picks up to about 4ft from the SSE, with combined energy hitting 198 – that’s a solid moderate push. And the wind? Cross-off from the west at 15 km/h, keeping those peaks clean and lined up. The period is a short 8 seconds, but with that offshore flow, Nuns should have some fun, workable waves. At 4ft it’s still fine for the average surfer.
Thursday July 16th morning is also worth a mention. Glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze and similar 4ft south swell, carrying a combined energy of 186. That clean surface is gold for this spot.
After those mornings, the wind gets messy and the swell fades, so the second week is only really about those few early sessions. The hands-down standout is Wednesday July 15th. It’s got the size, the clean wind, and the consistency. The 13th and 16th are decent backups if you want a quiet paddle. Crowds can get thick here sometimes, but if you’re out at first light, you might luck into a quiet lineup.
Keep your chin up, forecasts can change, and I’ll catch you out there.

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.
