The Lowdown
Gather ‘round, crew. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for this stretch of water, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. We’ve got one spot on the radar, Nahr Brahim, and it’s a real quiet one across the whole 16-day window. This is a river mouth set-up, exposed to the west-southwest swell, and it’s a beginner-friendly wave when it works, but let’s be honest – it rarely breaks.
Right now, the first Friday, September 4th, we’re seeing tiny 1.0ft to 1ft swell out of the west, with a weak period (about 4 to 6 seconds) and a combined energy of just 4 – that’s barely a ripple. The wind is a cross-onshore 9 mph from the southwest, making it messy. Saturday and Sunday don’t get any better: still under 2ft with light cross-onshore breezes. The wave state is poor across the board.
We do get a small window on Monday morning, September 7th, where the wind goes glassy out of the northwest at 3 mph. Swell is still only 1.0ft, period a weak 6 seconds, energy at 11 – clean as a whistle, but there’s barely any push. That’s the best we can say for it, but it’s not surfable. The rest of the first week and into the second stays locked in the same pattern: waves never climb above 2ft, with light, often onshore or cross-onshore winds.
The only slight uptick comes on Thursday, September 17th, when we see the swell nudge up to 2ft to 3ft out of the west, with a period of 6 seconds. Combined energy hits 41 on Thursday afternoon – that’s still weak, but it’s the most energy we see in the whole run. The wind on Thursday morning is glassy, which would make it clean, but 2ft of short-period west swell isn’t going to get the heart racing. For the river mouth here, this is about as good as it gets, which isn’t saying much. It’s a long gap of quiet surf for this area.
Honestly, this whole 16-day stretch is a blank run for any proper waves. If the wind picks up, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than for paddle surfing, but for now, the board stays on the roof.

A general guide to surfing at Nahr Brahim can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
