The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you. Looking at the upcoming window for Nahr Brahim, it’s a tough one. The swell is tiny and inconsistent, and the winds are almost never right. There are no standout days for a proper surf session. The whole 16-day forecast is basically a flat spell with poor quality surf. You’re looking at a long, blank run here.
The only wave that ever shows up is a weak, short-period swell from the west, rarely cracking 2ft to 2ft. It’s a river break that rarely breaks, and even when it does, the conditions are poor. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly sitting in the single digits or low double digits, which tells you how little power there is.
Let’s run through it. On Sunday, August 2nd, you’ve got a tiny 1.0ft west swell with a short 6-second period and a cross wind. Not worth the drive. Monday the 3rd morning is glassy with a light wind, but the swell is still only 1ft with a 5-second period. The water here is a touch warmer than normal, coming in at 85°F, which is about 3°F above average for this time of year.
The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore for the bulk of the period, killing any chance of clean faces. Tuesday and Wednesday see the swell bumping up slightly to 2ft and 2ft, but it’s still poor. The combined energy climbs a little, hitting 35 on Wednesday afternoon, but that’s still weak, and the wind is onshore.
From Thursday, August 6th, through the middle of August, the pattern stays the same: small west swell, short period, and persistent cross-onshore breezes at 9 mph, keeping the surf choppy. By the end of the second week, from the 12th of August onward, the swell drops right back to 0.7ft to 1.0ft. The energy falls into the low single digits. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with these consistent cross-onshore winds.
Even the best-looking period around Monday, August 17th, with a slight bump to 3ft to 3ft, it’s still a poor surf condition call. The period is short at 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. There is simply no session to get excited about. This is one of those times you leave the board in the car.
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.
