The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's be real – this 16-day outlook is a rough one for the river mouth. There's just no real surf to get excited about.
We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves. From Friday 21st August onwards, the swell is puny, mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds. That's just wind chop, lacking any power. The combined energy is mostly in the single digits or low double digits (weak energy). The wind is often cross-on or onshore, though there are a few glassy mornings on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th August. But with the swell that small, it's a flat spell. The water at Nahr Brahim (Lebanon) is 85°, which is a touch warmer than average.
In the second week, things try to perk up a little. The best pulse comes on Tuesday 1st September morning, with the swell hitting 3 ft out of the west and an 8-second period. The combined energy hits 80 (still weak energy). The wind is cross-on from the WSW, so it's not going to be clean. That's the peak of the whole forecast. After that, it fades again. Another glassy morning shows up on Saturday 5th September, but again, only 2 ft of weak swell.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is that Tuesday 1st September. You might get a few knee-high waves. The swell direction is west, which is a bit off the preferred WSW, and the short period means it won't have any grunt. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off.
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.
