The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to the chase—there’s no surf worth talking about for Nahr Brahim in this 16-day window. Zero. Nada. I’ve looked at every single day, and it’s a total bust.
The first chance to even mention waves is Monday, August 31st, but it’s a sad start. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is barely there, only about 37 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is blowing cross-on from the southwest at 6 mph, so it’s choppy, and the call is poor surf. The water is warm at 86°F, a touch warmer than normal, but that doesn’t help when there’s nothing to ride.
Tuesday, September 1st, the swell drops to 2ft and 1ft, still poor. Wednesday, September 2nd, we get a brief moment of glassy conditions in the morning, but with a tiny 0.7ft swell, it’s flat. Not a ripple. The rest of the first week is more of the same: small west swells, short periods, and winds that are either onshore or cross-on. The energy numbers are weak, mostly under 30 or 40.
The second week is no better. From September 7th through the 15th, we’re stuck with swell heights between 1ft and 2ft. Periods are short, 5 to 9 seconds, and the winds stay onshore or cross-on. A slight bump in period on September 9th to 9 seconds, but it’s still only a 2ft swell and cross-on. The final days on September 15th see the wind pick up to 16 mph, with the swell dropping to 1ft. That’s not surf, that’s just a messy chop.
This river break rarely breaks at the best of times, and this is a long, dry stretch. It’s a beginner spot when it’s working, but for this whole 16-day outlook, it’s not working at all. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind never turns clean offshore. If you want to get wet, the water’s warm, but don’t bother bringing your surfboard. This is Rusty, out.

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.
