The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Nesika Beach over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing good to start with, and honestly, the whole window is a struggle.
Looking at the whole run, there’s a big gap of surf that just isn't worth paddling out for. The first solid week is basically a write-off. From Thursday the 16th right through to Sunday the 20th of July, the wave comment on every single session is “poor surf conditions.” The wind is mostly onshore, blowing from the NW or NNW, which is chopping up what little swell is there. The water is sitting at a very unusual 51°F with a massive anomaly of 6°F below normal, meaning it’s *much colder than normal* for this time of year. That’s a serious chill factor for any session.
The first chance for a paddle comes on Monday morning the 20th of July, but it’s only a marginal call. The summary swell height is 2ft from the SW with a long period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (568). The wind is a gentle onshore breeze from the NW, so it’s not clean. It’s a “maybe” at best.
We then hit another dry spell. Tuesday the 21st has a marginal morning (2ft, SW, 16s period, combined energy 357) but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. After that, it’s back to “poor” conditions until Saturday the 25th of July.
The one true standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SW with a very long, juicy period of 21 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to a strong 1381, showing there’s some real power in the water. The wind is a gentle onshore breeze from the NW, so it’s not perfectly glassy. But for Nesika Beach, this is the best on offer. That long period groundswell will be better at a point or reef, but it’s the only day with any real energy and a marginal call. The rest of the weekend and into the following week is back to “poor” or “marginal” with onshore winds and much lower energy levels.
Bottom line: don’t get your hopes up for the first week. The only session that might be worth a look is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July, but even that is a long-range call and a bit uncertain. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal when the wind sets in from the north.
Rusty.

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 Nesika Beach 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.
