The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s looking flat and pretty grim for a long stretch. There’s a solid gap of no good surf on offer from the start of this forecast right through until almost the end of the second week. The only spot we’ve got to look at is Nahr Brahim (river). This little wave is a rare one, and frankly, it’s not showing us much at all.
For the first ten days or so, from Monday the 24th of August all the way through to the 3rd of September, the swell is tiny. We’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft, with periods mostly around 5 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking double digits—like 22 (22) or 13 (13) – just not enough to get excited about. The wind is generally a light cross-onshore breeze or onshore, which keeps things messy. It’s consistently rated as poor surf conditions. Honestly, this is a blank run for a river wave that rarely breaks, so it’s not a total shock, but it’s still a tough watch.
We do get a slight uptick right at the very end of the forecast. On Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell finally bumps up. The morning shows a 4ft W swell with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 164 (164), which is a moderate wave energy. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not glassy, but it’s the best looking window in the whole 16 days. That said, the swell direction is W, and the optimum for this break is WSW, so it’s not a perfect match. The water is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
So, if you’re desperate, Tuesday the 8th of September is the only day worth even peeking at. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only game in town. For the rest of it, save your energy.
Rusty.

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.

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.
