The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. I've been checking the water for Nahr Brahim, and there's just nothing happening for the next couple of weeks. This break is one of those that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. There's no decent surf in the entire 16-day window. The wave energy is weak – the combined swell energy starts at just 2 for the first entry on the morning of Friday, August 28, and never gets much above a middling 64 on the morning of Monday, September 7. That's a long, flat spell.
If you're really itching to paddle out, your first look is Friday morning, August 28. You'll get a tiny 0.7ft swell from the west. The period is only 6 seconds, and a light cross-onshore wind from the southwest at 6 mph will just mess it up. It's poor surf. That afternoon gets to 1ft, but with a puny 3-second period, it's choppy junk.
Saturday, August 29, offers 3ft from the west in the morning with a 6-second period, but a moderate cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph chops it to bits. Sunday, the 30th, has rain showers in the morning with a 2ft west swell and a 9-second period – a better period, but the cross-onshore wind spoils it.
The cleanest moments come on Tuesday morning, September 1, where you get a glassy 1ft wedge from the WNW with a light air. The swell energy is 31, still weak, and the period is 8 seconds. It's the smoothest the water will be, but it's still a little wave. Wednesday morning, September 2, is also glassy but with a pathetic 0.7ft and a 6-second period – barely a ripple.
The second week is a total dud. From September 4 through to September 12, every session is a variation of 1ft to 2ft from the west, with cross-onshore or onshore wind keeping things messy. The highest swell energy hits 64 on the morning of Monday, September 7, with a 2ft west swell and an 8-second period under an onshore breeze – still poor surf. There's nothing here for a surfer on a paddle board. Honestly, this stretch looks way more suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
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.
