Nun's Beach is a decent surf spot that sees a mix of surfers enjoying both lefts and rights. It really lights up with a good head-high northeast swell, making it a popular choice during the right conditions. The beach itself offers easy access, though it can get a bit tricky in the summer months due to crowds.

The surf at Nun's can be fun, especially when the swell is coming from the ENE, E, or SE directions. It handles swell sizes ranging from about 1 meter (3 ft) to 2.1 meters (7 ft). You'll find that the waves break over a sandy bottom, and both left and right waves are common. The best times to catch waves are usually around mid to high tide, with the ideal wind blowing from the WNW, NW, or NNW. This spot is beginner-friendly but also offers challenges that can appeal to intermediate and expert surfers. Boards like shortboards, funboards, longboards, and even bodyboards can work well here.

Expect light to moderate crowds here, and the local vibe tends to be more chill than average. Just keep an eye out for some hazards like groins, shallow areas, and rip currents, so you stay safe while enjoying the waves. The best time to surf Nun's Beach is from September through March when the conditions are generally the most favorable.
