Righto, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about Nera Rivermouth. The next two weeks are lookin' pretty grim, with only a couple of glimmers that are a long way off. For the most part, you're better off findin' somethin' else to do.

We’ve got a bit of a lull on our hands. The first real pulse of swell shows up on the morning of Tuesday, July 7th, with a 8ft SSW swell and a long 14-second period. That's a decent amount of push, with strong wave energy (3935). The trouble is, the wind is a 12 mph cross-onshore from the SSW, which is gonna chop it up somethin' terrible. The water temp is a pretty normal 75°, so no surprises there. This spot is a river-mouth and beach setup, and for a beginner break that's already inconsistent, those conditions are just messy. By the afternoon, the wind picks up to 16 mph and the swell jumps to 10ft, but with poor conditions and a score of zero, it’s a definite no-go for a paddle. Honestly, with that much wind and lumpy water, it’s lookin’ more like a day for the kite surfers than the loggers.

The rest of the first week and the whole second week are just poor. Swell drops right off to 0.7ft or 1.0ft from Thursday, July 9th, and the wind stays messy. The combined energy plummets (78 on Thursday morning, down to 66 in the arvo). From July 10th to July 15th, the swell hovers around 0.7ft to 2ft, with cross or cross-onshore breezes. It’s just ankle-snappers and wind bumps. Not worth gettin’ wet.

Now, there's a little flicker of hope way down the line. On Thursday morning, July 16th, we see a 4ft SSW swell with a longer 15-second period and moderate wave energy (779). The wind is cross-shore from the SE at 9 mph, which is better but still not clean. It’s still rated as marginal, but it’s the best we see in the whole forecast. Then, on Friday morning, July 17th, there's a bit more size with a long-period 3ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds and strong energy (742). The cross-shore wind is a bit lighter too. Both of these are standouts only because the rest is so flat. They’re not classics, but they’re the only ones that might even have a wave to ride.

So, to wrap it up: the first ten days are a write-off. The pick of a very weak bunch is the morning of Thursday, July 16th, for the biggest and most consistent option, or Friday morning, July 17th, for a slightly longer period groundswell. Both are a gamble with the cross-shore wind. Don't get your hopes up too high, though—the forecasts can change, but for now, Nera Rivermouth is takin' a long nap.

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.
