The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks. I’ll level with you straight up – it’s gonna be a quiet stretch.
Pretty much the whole 16-day window is a flat spell for Nahr Brahim. This spot is a river mouth, and it rarely breaks, which is exactly what we’re seeing here. For the opening weekend, Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, there’s barely a bump – waves around 1ft to 2ft from the west with a short, weak period around 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is really low, stuck in the teens to twenties (13 to 27). On top of that, the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s messy. That first Saturday morning, the water is a balmy 86° with an anomaly of 4° – much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit if you’re just floating around.
The pattern continues all through the first week, into the second week, and right through to Sunday the 20th of September. We see a little bump on Monday the 7th afternoon, with combined energy hitting 42 – still very weak. There’s a notable moment on the morning of Sunday the 13th, where the wind goes glassy. That’s a beautiful thing to see, but the swell is only 1ft with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of just 5 – flat calm, not surfable.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. Nothing for beginners, nothing for experts. This is a classic blank run for the area. For any real waves, you’d have to look elsewhere or just wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.
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.
