The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is—this 16-day window is a total bust for our little river mouth. The swell is barely a ripple, and the wind is mostly messing up what little there is, so there’s no real standout session to point you toward.
The first time you might bother getting wet is Monday morning, September 7th, at Nahr Brahim. The water is a warm 85°F, which is way toastier than usual for this time of year—about 4°F above average, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts. But the swell is tiny, only 2ft from the west with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 26. The wind is light and onshore from the WSW, so it’s not totally blown out, but it’s not clean. This break *rarely breaks*, and it’s a beginner spot, so if you’re learning, you’ll get a little push, but that’s about it. Monday afternoon gets a bit more wind, staying cross-onshore, and the swell doesn’t improve.
Tuesday and Wednesday are a write-off. Swell drops to 1ft to 1ft, periods around 6 to 8 seconds, and energy in the single digits. Wind is cross-onshore, keeping it choppy and uninviting. Thursday, September 10th, has a light onshore wind, but the swell is still 1ft to 1ft—basically flat. Friday morning, September 11th, turns glassy, but the swell is only 1ft at 6 seconds, so it’s a dead calm river mouth. Saturday morning, September 12th, is also glassy, but the swell is 1ft. You’d need a longboard and a lot of hope.
There’s a big gap of nothing until Thursday morning, September 17th, when the swell bumps to 3ft from the west with a 6-second period, and the energy nudges up to 44 (still weak). The wind is cross-onshore from the SW, so it’s lumpy. This is the biggest we see, but it’s still poor. Friday morning, September 18th, has the same 3ft swell with onshore wind, but it’s short-period and weak.
The rest of the run is back to tiny, weak swells and cross-onshore winds. Sunday, September 20th, has a 2ft swell from the north, but it’s only 4 seconds—utterly hopeless, and the wind is blowing 12 mph cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than a paddle session.
It’s a dry spell. This spot rarely breaks anyway, and the forecast is just a long, quiet stretch. Don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d find something else to do.
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.
