The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve been looking at the numbers for Nahr Brahim (Lebanon) and I’m not gonna sugar-coat it – this is a dry spell. This river mouth spot rarely breaks, and for the next 16 days the surf is just tiny and gutless. The wave energy barely gets above a whisper, mostly in the single digits (2 to 78). There are zero standout sessions. The water temp is 85°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season.
Let’s go through it. Thursday the 3rd starts with 0.7ft from the west, a short 5-second period. Friday the 4th stays small at 1ft. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are all the same – tiny swells and poor conditions. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s bumpy. The best chance you get is Monday the 14th morning, when the swell climbs to 2ft from the west, period around 8 seconds, and it’s glassy calm. The wave energy hits 78 then – still weak, but it’s the cleanest it gets all fortnight. By afternoon, a light cross-onshore breeze will mess it up a bit.
After that, it drops off again. This is a spot that rarely breaks, so a long flat spell like this is pretty normal here. If you really want to get wet, the 14th morning is your pick, but with such small swell and an inconsistent break, don’t get your hopes up.
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.
