The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. It’s a tough stretch ahead for the river wave here. The only break on the table is Nahr Brahim (Lebanon). The water is running 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Don’t get your hopes up for anything rideable, though.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days – Tuesday the 4th of August through to Monday the 10th – all show tiny, weak slop. Swell heights barely reach 2 ft, periods are short, mostly 5 to 7 seconds, and the combined energy stays pathetically low (8 to 47). The wind is mostly cross-onshore, light to gentle, but with waves that small, it’s just messy. Don’t bother.
There’s a gap of several days with no real improvement. On Tuesday the 11th of August morning, there’s a brief moment of glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1 ft, period 7 seconds, and the energy is just 14. It’s glassy, sure, but it’s barely a ripple. Not worth the drive.
The rest of the run – from Wednesday the 12th through to Wednesday the 19th – is more of the same. Swells stay under 3 ft, periods hover around 6 seconds, and the wind is consistently cross-onshore, often moderate breeze. The best combined energy we see is 47, and that’s still weak. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” right through. This is a river break that rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s not showing us anything.
Honestly, if you’re looking for waves, this 16-day window is a write-off. The area is known for inconsistent spells, and this is one of them. For kite surfers, the steady cross-onshore wind and small, choppy waves might hold some interest, but for paddle surfing, leave the board at home.

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.
