Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin'.
Well, to be straight with you, Nuns Beach is lookin' pretty flat and sad for the next couple of weeks. The swell's just not showing up, and when it does, the wind's messing it up. Out of the whole 16-day run, there's really only one little window that might be worth a paddle, and even that's a stretch. We're lookin' at a lot of days with basically nothing.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
First up, we've got a gap of almost two weeks of proper junk. From Tuesday the 7th of July right through to late in the week, the waves are tiny and the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, just chopping everything up. There's a bit of a pulse on Tuesday the 21st of July with a combined energy of 174 (moderate wave energy), but that's coming in at 3 ft from the east with a short 7-second period and a cross-onshore breeze. That's a messy, grovelly wave at best. It's a beginner spot anyway, so if you're learning and don't mind the chop, maybe. But for anyone wanting a proper surf, it's a no-go.
The one half-decent moment is on Friday the 10th of July. It's not a standout by any means, but it's the best on offer. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the south, period of 7 seconds, so it's weak, but the wind goes light and cross-off in the afternoon. That means a clean surface. The combined energy is only 86 (weak wave energy), so you'll be workin' for every little bump. For a beginner spot that's *fairly consistent*, the crowds can be a factor here *often*, so don't expect it to be empty. But for what it is, a clean, tiny wave is better than nothing. The morning of Tuesday the 13th also has some clean offshore wind from the north-west, but the swell is only 1.0 ft with a 10-second period. That's just barely a ripple, even if it is clean.
So, to wrap it up: dirty O's and closeouts for almost the whole two weeks. That Friday the 10th afternoon is your best bet for a clean little knee-slapper. If you're not a beginner, don't bother gettin' wet. The forecast can always change, but right now it looks bleak.

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.
