Right then, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Nera Rivermouth and, well, it’s a tough outlook. Straight up, there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. That’s a blank run from now, the 3rd of July, all the way through to the 18th. Every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions.
We’re looking at a river and beach setup that’s sheltered, and it really shows. The swell direction is stubbornly from the SSW, but the wind is almost always wrong – cross, cross-on, or onshore. A lot of moderate breezes just chopping everything up. There’s a bit of a spike in the energy around the 7th and 8th of July, with combined energy readings hitting between 2786 and 4372 (that’s very strong wave energy), and wave heights pushing 8 ft to 10 ft. But the wind is a solid cross-onshore from the south at 12 mph, so it’ll be a messy, blown-out mess. At that size, over 8 ft, it’s only for experts anyway, and with the conditions, it’s just not worth it. The period on that big stuff is long, 14 to 18 seconds, which for a river mouth can make it break a bit straight and tricky.
Even the smaller days are plagued by cross-shore winds. There’s one morning on the 14th of July that’s glassy with an ESE breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft with a short 7 second period and only 18 combined energy. That’s barely a ripple.
Don’t get too disheartened, though. In an area like this where the consistency is listed as inconsistent, a long blank run is more normal. It tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change. But for now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Save your energy.
Rusty.

Information about the Nera Rivermouth Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nera Rivermouth provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nera Rivermouth can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nera Rivermouth 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 (Nera Rivermouth) 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 Nera Rivermouth 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.
