Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cooking.
Not much, to be honest. The only break in the picture is Nera Rivermouth (a river and beach setup), and it’s an inconsistent spot that’s sheltered, so it needs a clean southwest swell to fire. Water temp is about 75°F, which is normal for the season.
For the first week, it’s a rough go. Monday and Tuesday (6th-7th July) have some swell building, but the wind is cross-onshore and the waves are messy. Tuesday morning pushes up to around 8ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, but that’s combined with a 20 km/h cross-on wind, making it choppy. The combined wave energy is strong (3993), but the conditions are marginal at best. Not worth suiting up.
Wednesday (8th July) keeps that 10ft swell, but again, cross-on wind ruins it. Then from Thursday (9th July) through to Monday (14th July), the swell tanks. We’re looking at tiny waves – often under 2ft – and no quality. That’s a solid week of nothing. It’s a painful stretch.
The only half-decent moment is the morning of Sunday 12th July. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a 1ft swell from the SSW with a long 18-second period. The combined wave energy is weak (124), and it’s rated as surfable but ordinary. For a spot that rarely breaks, even glassy conditions with that tiny groundswell won’t give you much. It’s a last resort, not a plan.
The following week (15th-21st July) sees a small uptick, with waves around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind turns cleaner (cross-off or glassy). The morning of Friday 17th July has near glassy conditions with a 3ft SSW swell (period 11s, combined energy 299) and could offer a few clean, slow waves if you’re patient. It’s the best of a quiet bunch, but still nothing to shout about.
Bottom line: it’s a long, flat run with an inconsistent spot. For paddle surfing, you’re better off waiting. Some of those stronger, wind-affected days with 8ft+ swell might appeal to kite surfers, but for a board? Not much on offer.
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.
