Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Nuns Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Overall, it’s a pretty flat and disappointing outlook. For the first week and a half, we’ve got very little to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the wind is often messy, and the energy is just not there. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 74°F.
Right through the first week into the second, we’re looking at a long stretch of knee-high slop and cross-onshore chop. The best of a bad bunch comes around Friday, July 10th, and Saturday, July 18th. They’re not standouts, just the least terrible.
For Friday, July 10th, in the afternoon, we get a little bump of 3ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 106 (moderate), which is the highest we see. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore, making it clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Unless you’re desperate for a paddle, it’s not worth the trip.
Then on Saturday, July 18th, the morning shows a similar story: 3ft from the SSE, clean cross-off wind, and energy at 81 (weak). Again, it’s just barely surfable.
For the rest of the period, expect poor conditions, lumpy water, and very small waves. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is too weak to offer any real quality. The best wind days are glassy, but the swell is flat.
This is a tough one. There’s no real standout. The best you can hope for is a clean, small wave session on the 10th or 18th. If you’re a beginner, the tiny stuff on the 14th morning with glassy conditions might be a goer, but it’s still pretty weak.
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.
