Nyang-Nyang Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, lookin' over the charts for Nyang-Nyang. Gotta be straight with ya – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for this spot. We're lookin' at a solid swell window, but the wind is the real story here, and for the most part, it's not a good one.

We kick things off with a decent pulse of SW groundswell, but that ESE wind is just a killer. For the first ten days, through to the 20th of July, it's mostly a write-off. The wind is either cross or cross-onshore, and it's blowin' a fresh 15 to 19 mph, just lumpin' up the surface. That's not surf, that's a washing machine. The swell energy is there, strong in fact, hittin' over 1900 (combined energy) on the 10th, and again over 2600 (combined energy) on the 14th and 20th – that's some serious grunt comin' from the SSW. But the poor conditions mean it's just not worth paddlin' out for a beatin'. The waves on the 14th and 20th are pushin' 7 ft, which is a solid size, but with that wind, it's a mess. There's a bit of a gap here where the calls are just "poor" or "marginal" – it's a frustrating run of days.

Now, hold onto your board, because there's a flicker of hope. The real standout, the one you want to circle in red, is the morning of Thursday the 24th of July. The models are showin' a glassy morning with a clean 4 ft SSW groundswell (16-second period). That's a long-period groundswell, which means it'll have real shape and power, and at Nyang-Nyang, a reef break, it's gonna line up proper. The combined energy is a solid 1152 (moderate), and with the wind flat out of the SE at just 3 mph, it's gonna be clean as a whistle. The water temp is sittin' around 80°, which is dead average for this time of year, so it'll be a nice session. Keep in mind, this spot is for advanced surfers only – it's a reef setup and can get a bit tricky.

The Wednesday morning before that, the 23rd, is also worth a mention. It's a smaller day, with 4 ft from the SSW, but the wind is from the west at 3 mph, makin' it glassy. It's a smaller swell, but it'd be a fun, clean option if you're after a lighter session.

After that, the 25th looks like it's back to the cross-onshore chop, so the window is really just those two glassy mornings. If you can get out there on the 24th, that's your best bet. Otherwise, we're waitin' for the wind to play ball.

Rusty, signing off.
