The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve scanned the entire 16-day window and, well, it’s a tough one. The honest truth is there are no good surf options on offer for the whole period. Not a single day ticks the boxes for a proper session. The forecast is pretty much a write-off.
We’re looking at Nahr Brahim, a river mouth that rarely breaks. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it just doesn’t have the juice. The whole stretch from now through to the 24th of September is a flat, wind-blown mess. Day after day, the swell is tiny, barely scraping 2.6ft on the best day, and the period is short and weak, mostly around 5 to 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is pitiful, sitting at single digits or low two-digit numbers for most of the run, like 8 or 10 (moderate at best, but mostly weak). The strongest pulse we see is on the 21st of September, with a combined energy of 54 (weak), but even then, the swell is a pathetic 2.6ft.
The wind is no help either. It’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore, which is the last thing you want on a spot that needs all the help it can get. There are a handful of glassy mornings, like the 13th, 14th, and 18th of September, but with zero swell to work with, it’s just flat calm. The water temp is a very unusual 85.6°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing breaking the monotony.
For a spot that is already inconsistent, this is a brutally long blank run. It’s not typical for the area to have this many days with nothing, but here we are. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board, but even then, you’d need a breeze.
Sorry, crew. There’s nothing to chase. The only thing to do is wax the board up for a skate and wait for the next update. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a shutout.

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.

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.
