The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down the 16-day window.
To be straight with you, there is not one good surf day in the whole stretch. From the 10th of August all the way to the 25th of August, it’s a long, flat, choppy run. The first week is completely dead. Swell heights are tiny, from 0.3m to 0.7m, periods are short at 5-6 seconds, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore. The combined energy is weak across the board, every value under 100. Every slot says “poor surf conditions.”
Around the 18th of August, the swell bumps up to 1.0m, and the combined energy hits 80-85, still weak. The wind stays moderate cross-onshore at 20 km/h. The period is only 6-7 seconds, so it’s just a choppy, bumpy windswell. Not worth a paddle.
The only break in the guide is Nahr Brahim (Lebanon). It’s a river spot that rarely breaks, and it doesn’t offer a single wave worth mentioning in these 16 days. On the first morning, the water reading is 29° that’s a touch warmer than normal, but that doesn’t help the surf. With that beach-and-river setup and those onshore winds, this stretch looks more like a kite session than a surf session.
So yeah, it’s a blank run. When the consistency is this low, it’s kind of normal for the area. Forecasts can turn, but right now there’s no standout here. I’d keep the board in the car and wait.
Rusty.

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.
