Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nahr Brahim over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be real about Nahr Brahim – through this whole 16-day stretch, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Every single report says poor surf conditions, so it’s a flat, blown-out mess.
From Monday the 13th of July, it’s tiny: 2ft waves from the west with a short 6-second period and a cross-onshore breeze making it choppy. Combined wave energy is low at 25. That same pattern – small 2ft swell, weak energy, and onshore wind – holds through the first week. By Wednesday the 15th, the period picks up to 8 seconds, but the swell drops and the wind stays onshore. Still no good.
Into the second week, there’s a slight bump around Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, with the swell hitting 4ft from the west on Saturday afternoon and energy climbing to 185. That’s the most energy we see, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy, keeping the surf quality poor. The period reaches 8 seconds but it doesn’t matter with the wind all wrong. Nothing gets big enough to worry experts, and beginners won’t find anything clean.
Water temp is about 82°, a touch warmer than average for July. But with this break rarely breaking and the entire 16 days showing no decent rides, it’s a classic quiet spell. Leave the board at home and wait for a better run.
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.
