The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Nahr Brahim. This is a river mouth that rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run isn’t a huge surprise. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing from Wednesday the 19th of August right through to the end of the month. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft with a weak west wind swell, and the combined energy is barely registering – something like 18 (weak energy) at best. Winds are cross-on or onshore most of the time, so it’s messy and not worth paddling out for.
There’s a slight glimmer on the 1st of September. Tuesday morning sees a glassy start with a 4 ft west swell, period around 8 seconds, and combined energy hitting 173 (moderate wave energy). It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. The afternoon goes onshore and drops off. After that, it fades back to nothing through the 3rd of September.
Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The only real window is that Tuesday morning on the 1st of September, and even then it’s marginal. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get a few knee-high dribbles, but don’t expect much. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the weak swell and light winds.
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.
