Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what we're looking at for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough one to call. The window is looking pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with very little to get excited about. The only break on the radar is Nahr Brahim, a river mouth setup that *rarely breaks*, so this kind of quiet spell isn't entirely out of the ordinary for the area. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock to the system.
The first few days are a total write-off. Through Friday the 10th and into the weekend, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swell around 2 ft to 2 ft from the west, with a short, gutless period of 6 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making for poor, choppy conditions. The combined energy is barely registering, with values like 26 or 15 (weak energy). There’s just nothing to work with for a paddle surfer.
We roll into the new week, and the pattern doesn't really shift. Monday the 13th through to the end of the week just offers more of the same: small west swell, short periods, and persistent cross-onshore winds. The combined energy stays in the weak range, peaking at a measly 46 on the 15th. It's a frustrating stretch of poor surf conditions with no standouts.
Looking further out into the second week, from the 20th of July onward, we finally see a tiny pulse of life. The swell edges up to 3 ft on the 20th and 21st, with period stretching to 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 86 and then 100 (moderate wave energy). The wind is still a problem, being cross-on or onshore, but it's light. This is still not good surf, but it is the best the forecast has to offer. The 24th and 25th show a similar theme with 3 ft to 3 ft of west swell and a slightly better 8-second period, but the onshore wind is still there, keeping the surface messy.
So, the honest truth is there are no true standouts here. For a 16-day window, this is a real bust. The setup at Nahr Brahim with onshore wind and these tiny swells is honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. We’ll have to hope the forecasts change, because right now, it’s a blank run.
Stay tuned, 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.
