The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The outlook here is pretty quiet, I’m not gonna lie. This is a river break, so it’s a different beast, but for the next 16 days it’s just not happening. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and the wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, which kills any chance of a decent wave. There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile from the start right through to the middle of the month.
The first real possibility, and I’m calling it a possibility, not a guarantee, comes on Tuesday morning, 11 August. Nahr Brahim (Nahr_Brahim) might show a little something. The swell is 1 ft from the west, but the key is the wind: it’s glassy. Glassy conditions on a river break, even with tiny swell, can sometimes produce a fun little 1-foot wave. The combined wave energy is a weak 11 (11), so it’s not going to have any punch, but if you’re a beginner and you’re desperate, that’s your window. Usually, this spot is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, with water temp around 85°, so at least you won’t be cold.
Honestly, the rest of the 16 days is a write-off for surf. The swell barely gets above 2 ft, the period is always short (5-8 seconds), and the wind is never clean. It’s just poor surf conditions, one after another. For a break that rarely breaks, this is a typical blank run. Don’t get your hopes up. If you have a kite, you might get a session on the 15th when the swell bumps up to 2 ft and the wind is a moderate 12 mph, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass.

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.
