Nera Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up on the Nera Rivermouth over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough start. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions for the first week, so don’t expect much.

We kick off Sunday the 30th with a weak, messy 5ft swell from the SSW, but that 12 mph cross-onshore wind is just chopping it all up. The combined energy is moderate at 582, but it’s a no-go. It’s mostly small, cross-shore chop through Monday and Tuesday, with a tiny pulse of short-period, wind-affected swell on Tuesday that’s only 4ft from the SE with a 6-second period – that’s just wind slop. The water temp is sitting around 73°, which is about normal for this time of year, so that’s not your problem.

We’ve got a gap of several days here with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance comes on Thursday, September 3rd. The morning’s a bit marginal with a light cross-shore breeze and a 5ft SSW swell, but the energy is picking up to 703. The afternoon is cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, and the swell eases to 4ft from the SSW with a 13-second period, giving it a bit more shape. The combined energy is still solid at 500. This is the best of a weak bunch, but it’s still only a “marginal” call – you might get a few fun ones if you pick your tide.

Honestly, the standout window is the following weekend. Sunday, September 6th, is looking like the best on offer. The morning has a light NNE cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions, and a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy is strong at 817. The afternoon gets even better – glassy conditions with a 4ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a combined energy of 697. This is when you want to be there. Nera Rivermouth is a sheltered, inconsistent spot, so when it lines up like this, it’s a treat. Just keep in mind the crowds can be around sometimes.

The following week stays on the small side, with a few clean mornings but nothing with much punch. Monday the 7th is a bit cross-shore and marginal. The real last chance for a decent session comes on Sunday, September 13th, with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, giving you a combined energy of 644. It’s small, but it’ll be clean.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. Thursday the 3rd is your only real chance in that first block, but it’s not a classic. The real standout is Sunday, September 6th – glassy, clean, and a solid swell. After that, conditions are clean but small. Get it while you can.

Rusty.
