Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Nahr Brahim stretch. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough read.
For the entire 16-day outlook starting Monday, July 6, there isn’t a single standout session. The swell stays small, mostly between 1.0 ft and 3 ft, with periods under 8 seconds, so it’s weak and short-period windswell most of the way. The combined wave energy barely gets into three digits, peaking at just 86 (weak) on Thursday afternoon, July 9, before dropping right back. On the 11th and 12th, energy falls as low as 8 and 9 – basically flat.
On top of that, the wind is almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore, 6 mph to 12 mph, so the surface is going to be choppy or at best variable. There are a few moments of light onshore breeze on Sunday, July 18 and Monday, July 20, but with swell under 3 ft and 6-second period, it’s still not going to produce anything worthwhile. The river break itself rarely breaks and is exposed to the WSW – the optimum direction – but the size just isn’t there.
Bottom line: this is a blank run. No good surf on offer for the entire two weeks. For a spot that’s inconsistent by nature, a stretch like this isn’t a shock, but it’s a long wait. Forecasts can shift, but right now, I’d save the drive.
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.
