Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nera Rivermouth over the next 16 days.
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Nera Rivermouth has in store over the next couple of weeks. This is a sheltered, beginner-friendly river-mouth setup that’s usually inconsistent – so when it does fire, you want to be on it. The water’s sitting at about 74°F, pretty average for this time of year.
First up, there’s a real quiet spell. From now through the early part of July, nothing worth paddling out for – messy cross-onshore wind and junk swell. The morning of Sunday the 12th turns glassy with a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell (14s period), energy a feeble 127 – surfable if you’re desperate, but very ordinary. That’s the first real chance, and it’s not much.
The next few days stay poor, with light offshores but barely a ripple. Then we get to Thursday the 16th of July. That morning looks like the highlight – 3ft of clean SSW groundswell, period 14s, combined energy a decent 564, and the wind drops to glassy from the SSE. For a break that rarely turns on, that’s a steal. The long period will push the sets in nicely at the river mouth; just be aware it’s a beginner spot, so 3ft is right in that sweet zone. Afternoon goes cross-shore and drops off.
Later in the window, Saturday the 18th of July afternoon shows a 6ft SSW swell (14s, 1210 energy) but with a cross 9 mph breeze from the SE. Conditions are marginal – score’s okay but the wind won’t help. Too big for beginners, and the cross-shore makes for a lumpy surface. Might be worth a look if you’re after size, but Thursday morning is the real standout.
From the 19th onward it’s back to onshore junk, so don’t hold your breath. Nera Rivermouth is a fickle little spot; this run is pretty typical. Keep an eye on that Thursday the 16th – it’s your best shot.
Rusty.
