Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Ning Nong?

The Ning Nong profile does not specify a preferred tide stage. That does not mean tide has no effect: check local conditions alongside swell and wind.

What wind direction is offshore at Ning Nong?

The Ning Nong profile uses wind from NE (45°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 0° to 90°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Ning Nong?

The Ning Nong scoring profile favors swell from S (165° to 225°), a swell-height range of 0.7m to 3.5m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
