The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell. Looking over the whole 16-day window, there just isn't any decent surf on offer. What little swell tries to show up gets chopped up by cross-onshore breezes, or it’s just too weak to do anything with. For a river break like Nahr Brahim, which is a real diamond in the rough that rarely breaks, this is pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, you're looking at a long, quiet period.
The first wave of any note doesn't even appear until Saturday the 25th of July. We see a 4 ft swell coming from the W with a short period of 8 seconds and weak wave energy (230). The problem is it's blown out by a 16 mph SW wind. It’s poor surf, and that’s the best it gets for the whole run. The very next morning, Sunday the 26th, the swell drops to 3 ft, and by Monday the 27th we are down to a knee-high 2 ft. The winds stay messy. From there, it just fizzles out completely for days on end, with wave heights barely reaching 1.0 ft to 2 ft and energy readings as low as 3. That’s just flat.
Even by the time we get to Thursday the 6th of August, when the swell tries to push up to 3 ft again, it's a short-period, sloppy mess. The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore for the entire two weeks, so there’s never a clean window. With the swell staying small and the wind never friendly, there's absolutely nothing to recommend here. It’s a solid stretch to leave the board in the car and maybe enjoy the clear skies instead.
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.
