The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight — there’s really nothing to get excited about here. The whole 16-day outlook for Nahr Brahim (Lebanon) is a flat, disappointing stretch. Not a single session worth paddling out for. The river mouth break is rated for beginners, but it rarely breaks, and over this entire run, the swell just doesn’t show up. The combined energy is pitiful, hitting a max of just 74 (weak energy) on Monday 31 August afternoon, but even then, the swell is tiny, short-period, and the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. It’s a mess.
The water temperature on Tuesday 18 August is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing of note.
From Tuesday 18 August through to Wednesday 2 September, the story is the same: swell heights barely reach 3 ft, periods are mostly short (4–9 seconds), and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on Wednesday morning 2 September, but with just 1 ft of weak WNW swell, it’s not surfable. The rest is light breezes, gentle breezes, and poor surf conditions across the board.
Don’t hold your breath. This is one of those stretches where the forecast is blank, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Check back in a week or so – things can change.

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.
