The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew on what we’ve got for the next stretch.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. There’s a long, dry gap of nearly two weeks with no decent surf on offer. We’re talkin’ from the start of the period all the way through to the end of the first week of August, with nothing but tiny, weak dribble and poor conditions. The energy is just a whisper, and the wind is nearly always cross-on or onshore, messing up what little bump there is. It’s a real bummer.
The only spot in the mix is Nahr Brahim (river) , a river mouth that rarely breaks. It’s a beginner-level wave, but it’s just not cooperating. The best you’ll see is around July 31st, when a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the west rolls in with a period of 9 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is laughably low, at just 10 to 15 (weak). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The wind is onshore, so it’s not clean.
Then, on August 1st, the morning goes glassy – that’s a rare treat – but the swell is still a pathetic 1.0 ft (energy 9). It’s just not enough to push a wave. The rest of the first week of August is more of the same: tiny dribble, light cross-onshore breezes, and a combined energy that never cracks 43. This setup is so weak and messy, it’s more interesting for kite-surfing than a proper paddle session.
Later, on August 7th, we get another glassy morning with a 1 ft swell from the west, but again, it’s barely a ripple. August 11th closes out the forecast with a 1.0 ft swell and a light cross-onshore breeze. There’s just no standout here – not a single session worth paddling out for. It’s a blank run, and for a spot that rarely breaks anyway, it’s not unusual. Keep your eyes on the charts, things can change, but for now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Nahr Brahim can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
