The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a good hard look at what's on the table for the coming weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a tough outlook. The only break in the game is Nahr Brahim, a river mouth that rarely breaks, aimed at beginners. Don't get your hopes up. The water temp is sitting around 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's something.
Right through the rest of August and into the start of September, we're looking at a long, flat spell. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave energy is pitiful. You’ve got weak readings like 1, 8, and 12 in the combined energy brackets for most days. There’s nothing to recommend.
There is a minor blip on Saturday the 29th of August where the morning shows some moderate energy (109) and a 3 ft swell from the west, with a period around 8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-on from the SW. This is the only window that even gets close to being surfable, but it's still described as poor. For a spot that rarely breaks, and with that consistent cross-shore wind, it's a real long shot. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle board.
So, that's it. A long 16-day window with nothing on offer. For this area, a blank run isn't all that unusual.
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.
