The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’re in for a quiet spell. Over the next sixteen days, Nahr Brahim (river) barely flickers – the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. There isn’t a single session that I’d honestly paddle out for. The combined wave energy stays weak throughout, topping out at just 83 (weak) on Monday morning the 7th of September, but even then the swell is only 3 ft from the west with a short 7-second period and a cross-shore wind. It’s just too small and messy to get excited about.
From Wednesday the 26th of August right through to Thursday the 10th of September, the story is the same: swell heights bounce between 1 ft and 3 ft, periods stay under 9 seconds (mostly 5 to 7 seconds), and the wind is rarely clean. The river mouth rarely breaks anyway, so this stretch of weak, short-period slop is pretty normal for the area. There are no standout days whatsoever – I wouldn’t call any of it good surf. Keep the board in the car and maybe go for a fish instead.
Rusty.

Information about the Nahr Brahim Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nahr Brahim provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nahr Brahim can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nahr Brahim 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 (Nahr Brahim) 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 Nahr Brahim 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.
