The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've scanned the charts for the next 16 days, and I've got some news for you, and it ain't the kind that gets you grabbing your board in a hurry.
The short version is, the surf window is basically empty. We're looking at a long, flat spell stretching from now until mid-September. There's nothing on the horizon that's going to get the heart pumping. It's going to be a tough run for anyone jonesing for a wave. But that's the hand we've been dealt, and it's not unusual for this spot to go quiet like this. Forecasts can change, so it's not all doom and gloom, but for now, keep the board in the car and the wax in the drawer.
When we do see a pulse of energy, it's pretty weak. The swell energy values are mostly in the low double-digits. For example, on the 1st of September we see 27 (weak energy), and we get a similar weak blip on the 6th with 23 (weak energy). It's just not enough to get anything decent breaking at Nahr Brahim. It’s a river break, and it needs the right conditions to fire. And with no real swell, it's staying quiet. The wave periods are on the shorter side, mostly under 8 seconds, so we're not even getting any long-period groundswell to dream about.
The first few days are looking pretty poor. On the 1st of September, there's onshore wind and just 2ft of swell. We do get a touch of clean morning glass on the 3rd and the 7th with the winds dying off, but there's just no swell to push through. We'll see the swell barely climb to 2ft on the 12th and 2ft on the 12th, but the period is short and the winds are onshore, so it's going to be a mess.
To be honest, the only thing that looks remotely surfable is the morning of the 7th of September. There's a hint of a 1ft, 8-second swell coming from the west with the winds glassy. But even that's a marginal call. The energy is only reading 22 (weak), so I wouldn't expect much. It’s about the most promising couple of hours in the whole fortnight, but that's not saying much.
Bottom line: We've got no standout sessions here. It's a blank run for the next couple of weeks. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might find something knee-high and lumpy mid-week, but don't get your hopes up. For now, the setup looks better for a kite than a surfboard, if you're into that sort of thing. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change, but for now, hold tight.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
