Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
First up, the honest truth: it’s a flat spell. There’s nothing really worth paddling out for in the near future. The forecast is a long stretch of tiny, weak, and choppy conditions. The only break on the radar is Nahr Brahim (Lebanon) – a river mouth that rarely breaks. It’s more of a beginner zone, and even then, it’s not looking good.
For the whole 16-day window, there’s a massive gap with no real surf. The first couple of days, starting Sunday, July 5th, we’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the west, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (59). The wind is coming from the southwest, which is cross-on, and it’s choppy. This is a hard pass. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 3° above average, so it’s noticeable.
The pattern just keeps going: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – all the same. Tiny 2 ft to 3 ft west swell, periods under 8 seconds, combined energy staying in the weak range (50 to 79). The wind is mostly cross-on, and the surf is described as “poor.” It’s a write-off.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From July 10th onwards, the swell drops to 1.0 ft to 2 ft, with periods sometimes as low as 5 seconds. The combined energy gets embarrassingly low, hitting single digits like 8 and 9. The wind is lighter, but it’s still cross-onshore or onshore. There’s a slight uptick on Saturday, July 18th, with the afternoon showing a 3 ft swell from the west with an 8-second period and combined energy of 78 – still weak, still poor.
So, the only standout here is that there is no standout. Nothing comes close to being good. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is always messy. If you’re a kite surfer, this setup is more interesting than paddling, but for a wave rider, it’s a long, flat stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
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.
