The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. It’s pretty flat and messy for Nera Rivermouth for most of the 16-day window. We’ve got a long, boring stretch ahead.
The first sign of anything rideable is on the morning of Friday, the 1st of August. The swell is tiny, only around 3ft from the SSW, but the wind is dead calm, glassy. The energy is moderate (236), but the period is a short 14 seconds, so the waves will be soft. It’s surfable, but just barely.
We get a similar clean session on the morning of Wednesday, the 6th of August, with waist-high 3ft SSW swell and a clean cross-off breeze from the ESE (energy at 295). Still just ordinary waves.
Your best chance is the morning of Friday the 15th of August. The swell climbs to 4ft from the SSW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind goes glassy again, which is perfect for clean conditions. Energy sits at a moderate 351. The lack of long period means it won’t be the best shape, but with no wind, it’s the clear winner of the whole forecast.
The water temp at the start is 74°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Honestly, there are big dead gaps in this forecast. If you’re looking for something to do, the afternoon of the 1st of August with a solid 19 mph cross-onshore wind might be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
