The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

First up, we’re lookin’ at Nahr Brahim, a river mouth that’s set up for beginners but man, it barely ever breaks. Straight off the bat, the whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud – not a single day with a score worth paddling out for. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at 85°, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.

The first few days are a write-off. From Friday 7 August right through the weekend, we’ve got tiny swell – 1ft to 3ft – with a short, weak period of 5 to 6 seconds. The wind is cross-on from the SW or WSW, and the water’s choppy. The combined swell energy is weak, in the teens and thirties, so there’s just no push. The waves are poor, and the whole setup is a no-go.

Monday 10 August to Wednesday 12 August, the swell drops even smaller – 1.0ft to 2ft – with periods still short. The wind goes light from the NNW, but it’s still cross-on or cross-shore, so the surface is bumpy. Energy values are in the single digits or low teens. It’s flat, plain and simple.

From Thursday 13 August through to the end of the second week, things don’t improve. The swell stays tiny, 1.0ft to 1ft, with periods of 4 to 6 seconds. The wind is mostly light from the WSW or W, but the wave face is still poor. The combined energy is barely a whisper – 5 to 12. There’s a slight uptick around 17 August, with the swell height hittin’ 3ft to 4ft and a period of 7 seconds, and the energy climbs to 140 on the Monday afternoon, but it’s still cross-on from the SW at 15 mph, and the surf is described as poor. It’s messy, choppy, and just not worth gettin’ wet for.

Honestly, there’s no standout here. The whole 16 days is a blank run. For a river break that rarely breaks, this is pretty normal. The whole setup looks more like a kite session than a paddle session, if you’ve got the gear. But for a surfboard? Leave it at home. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
