Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch of coast.
Look, I’m gonna be honest with you – the forecast is a flat spell. There’s no standout surf, no hidden gem firing, nothing that’s going to get you racing for your board. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch with nothing worth paddling out for.
Nahr Brahim (river) is the only break on the cards, and it’s a rare one. It’s a beginner-friendly river mouth that “rarely breaks,” so the fact it’s even showing up in the forecast is notable, but that’s where the good news ends. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, a messy west wind swell with a short, weak period of 4 to 8 seconds. The combined energy never gets out of the weak range, mostly sitting between 6 and 88. The wind is either light cross-onshore or onshore, which means the surface is going to be choppy with ripples. It’s just poor surf conditions day after day.
There’s a slight bump in the second week – around Tuesday afternoon, July 21 – with a 3 ft swell from the west, but it’s still a 7-second period and the wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph. The energy hits 88 (low), so it’s really not enough to get excited about. Even with the optimum swell direction being WSW, the setup here just doesn’t get the juice.
Because of the small size, it’s never too big for beginners, but honestly, the quality is so poor it’s not worth the drive. With the river mouth and the consistent onshore breeze, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep the board in the car, mate. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

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.
