The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. I’ve been staring at the charts for Nahr Brahim and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. This is a river break that rarely breaks, and the numbers bare that out. We’re looking at a blank run from now all the way through to the 13th of September.
Let’s break it down. The whole period is plagued by tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is pathetic, sitting at a measly 38 on Saturday the 29th of August, and it never really gets much better. The maximum we see is a moderate 104 on Sunday the 30th, but that’s still with a wind that’s cross-shore, making it messy. Most days the energy is in the teens and twenties, or even down to single digits.
Forget the first week. Saturday the 29th kicks off with a 2 ft West swell at a short 5 seconds, but with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s just choppy junk. The following days are the same story – tiny waves, poor winds, and the surf quality is just “poor” across the board. There’s a glassy moment on Tuesday the 1st of September morning with a light NW wind, but the swell is only 2 ft and weak. It’s flat, not surfable.
Into the second week, it’s more of the same. The highest combined energy we see is 54 on Thursday the 10th of September, with a 2 ft West swell. But even then, the period is a short 9 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s just not worth the drive.
The bottom line? There’s not a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. This is a place where a blank run like this is more normal than not. The forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off leaving the boards in the car. No swell, poor winds, and a break that rarely works anyway. I’ll be watching for a change, but for now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.

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.
