The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days are going to be a tough watch at Nahr Brahim. This is a river break that rarely breaks, and when it does, it's barely ticking over. The whole forecast is a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions.
The only spot in the region is Nahr Brahim, a beginner-friendly river mouth. The water's sitting at 83°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But that's about the only highlight.
We start off Wednesday the 15th with tiny waves around 2 feet. The swell is a short-period, 7 to 8 seconds, from the West, and the combined energy is weak (45). The wind is onshore or cross-on, making it choppy. It's a zero out of ten situation.
This same sad story runs through the rest of July. Thursday the 16th through to the end of July, the swell height barely gets above 3 feet, and the period is often a pathetic 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy values are all in the two-digit range, often under 50, which is weak. The wind is consistently cross-on from the SW to WSW, keeping the surface messy. On Saturday the 25th, there's a bit of a bump with swell hitting 4 feet and energy jumping to 178 (moderate), but the wind is still cross-on and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it's still poor quality.
There is a glimmer on the afternoon of Friday the 24th of July, where the energy hits 158 and the swell is 3 feet, but again, it's cross-on and messy. The largest energy comes in on Saturday morning the 25th at 178, but it's paired with a 4 feet swell and cross-on wind. It's still not worth a paddle.
Because the swell is so consistently small, the period is short, and the wind is poor, this setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a surfer, it's a blank run. The forecast shows a solid 16 days of nothing really worth chasing. The water is warm, but the waves are just not there.
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.
