Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nera Rivermouth over the next 16 days.


G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be real – this outlook is a total dud. The whole 16-day window for Nera Rivermouth is flat, with hardly any surf worth paddling for. There’s a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and garbage conditions, so don’t get your hopes up.

Right now, Friday the 10th through to Thursday the 17th of July, the swell is a joke. We’re talking tiny 1ft to 2ft waves from the SSW or SW, with periods that are mostly short – around 14 to 20 seconds, but the energy is a total fizzer, barely cracking 100 (combined energy 98) on the best of the early days. The wind is a constant problem too, either cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for this time of year, so no complaints there, but it doesn’t help. The only slight glimmer is on Tuesday the 14th morning, when we get a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft and 9-second period (combined energy 16) – not even worth paddling for.

Then from Thursday the 16th, the swell tries to pick up a bit, hitting 3ft to 3ft, but it’s still a poor-quality, wind-affected mess. The energy climbs a little (combined energy 401 on the 16th morning), but the wind stays cross-on or onshore, so it’s just a choppy, blown-out affair. The best of the whole window is probably Friday the 17th morning, when we get a 3ft SSW swell with a 12-second period and light onshore wind (combined energy 404). It’s a marginal call, and the wave comment calls it poor surf, but if you’re desperate, that’s your only real shot. Still, the water temp is a fizzer, and the wind isn’t clean.

The rest of the month into the 25th is a downward slide. Swell drops back to 0.3ft to 2ft, energy plummets, and the wind stays cross or cross-on. There’s a solid 8-day gap of nothing worth mentioning from the 18th onward. Nera Rivermouth is a river and beach setup, so it’s sheltered and inconsistent, and this blank run is pretty normal for the area. It’s not a place that fires often, and when it does, it’s a rare treat. For now, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that cross-shore wind. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but this one’s a stinker.

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.
