Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nera Rivermouth over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Nera Rivermouth, a sheltered river‑and‑beach setup that’s inconsistent and best for beginners. The next 16 days are mostly a flat, frustrating run. Tiny swell, poor conditions, and nothing that really gets the heart pumping.
First up, Sunday July 12 – morning glass, 1.3ft of SSW swell rolling in with a long 18‑second period. Energy is moderate (231). The wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary” – and that’s about as good as it gets. By afternoon the wind goes cross and it’s done. Monday July 13 morning is glassy again, but only 1.3ft, and the energy drops to 50. No score. Tuesday through Thursday are all cross‑off or cross winds with tiny waves – 1ft to 2.6ft. Nothing to write home about.
Friday July 17 and Saturday July 18 see a slight bump in size (3ft to 3.6ft) but the wind is cross‑on or cross, and the chop gets lumpy. Scores are zero. Sunday July 19 pumps up to 4.9ft, but with a fresh 22 mph cross wind and lumpy cross‑chop, the energy jumps to 1002 – but the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” That’s more of a kite‑surfing day than a paddle‑surfing day.
The following week stays small and messy. The only flickers of hope are Sunday July 26 morning – glassy again, 1.3ft SSW, 18‑second period, energy 121, “surfable but very ordinary” – and Monday July 27 morning, 2.3ft, 9‑second period, light cross‑off wind, energy 163. Both are barely worth a mention.
Bottom line: the whole 16‑day window is a drought. If you’ve got a longboard and just want to paddle around on a glassy morning, you might catch a few

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.
