Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nera Rivermouth over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Overall, this forecast is a real waiting game. Nera Rivermouth is a sheltered, inconsistent river-and-beach setup that leans beginner-friendly, but for the first week and a half, the conditions are just not cooperating. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf and ordinary conditions before we see a glimmer of something rideable.
The first real hope pops up on Sunday morning, July 19th. That’s when we finally get a bit of a break. The swell is coming from the SSW at 4ft with a long 14-second period, and the combined energy is solid (738). The real kicker? Glassy conditions. Wind is calm from the WNW, so you’re looking at clean, smooth faces. This is the standout session of the entire 16-day run. The only downside is that the break is inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient between sets, but when they come, the shape should be good for a beginner-friendly wave. The water temp is sitting at 74°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that Sunday morning window, it gets messy again. The wind swings onshore from the SSW and SW, blowing at 6 to 16 mph, and the swell direction stays in the SSW but the quality drops off fast. The energy is still moderate to strong (442-463), but the onshore wind will mess up the face. Through the rest of July and into the last week, it’s a mix of cross-shore winds, small swell, and very poor conditions. The last week sees a lot of 0.7ft to 2ft swell with weak energy, mostly cross-shore breezes, and nothing worth paddling out for.
The real standout here is that Sunday morning, July 19th at Nera Rivermouth. If you’re a beginner or just want a clean, gentle session, that’s the one to circle on the calendar. Everything else is a write-off.
Rusty.
