Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you about this one. We're looking at a long, dry stretch ahead at Nahr Brahim (river). It's a river mouth setup that's rarely breaking, and the outlook over the next sixteen days doesn't offer any real hope for a proper surf. From the 4th of July right through to the 19th of July, every session is flagged as "poor surf conditions". That's a solid two-week-plus gap with nothing to recommend.
The core issue is the wind. It's almost always blowing cross-onshore from the southwest, with speeds from 9 mph up to 16 mph, creating choppy, messy conditions. The swell is tiny, with wave heights stuck between 1.0 ft and a maximum of 3 ft, and paired with short periods of 4 to 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is very weak, mostly well under 100 (between 11 and 108), which confirms there's just no power in the water. For a spot that only rarely breaks, you need everything to line up, and none of this does.
Even the few times the wind goes "on" rather than cross-on, the swell is barely there. It's a frustrating outlook. There are no standout days whatsoever. The wave state is either "unknown" or "choppy" with "small wind ripples". This is one of those blank runs that is more normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, but this forecast is a bust.
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.
