The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and knots.
Honestly, we’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. The first real chance of surf doesn’t show up until the 24th of July, so that’s about ten days of tiny, crummy waves. The water’s sitting at 83°F, which is a touch warmer than usual, so at least it’ll feel nice while you’re staring at a flat ocean.
The only break we’ve got is Nahr Brahim (river). It’s a beginner-level river wave that rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s not exactly pumping. For the first week and a half, it’s all poor conditions with swell around 1ft to 2ft and short periods. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. No reason to get excited.
On Friday the 24th of July, we finally get a pulse. Swell hits about 4ft from the west, with a 10-second period. That’s a groundswell with moderate energy behind it. The morning has a cross-on breeze, but it’s the only real swell in the whole 16 days. The direction (W) lines up decently with the optimum (WSW), and 4ft is a fun size for a river break.
After that, it fades fast. The 25th and 26th see smaller waves and cross-on wind, and the energy drops off. The 27th through the 29th are back to tiny, weak stuff.
So, if you’re itching, mark Friday the 24th of July. That’s your one window. Expect some crowds, because it’s a rare break and it’s inconsistent. But for a river wave with a bit of west swell and a 10-second period, it might just be worth the wait. The rest of the forecast is a washout for a paddle.
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.
