The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Nesika Beach.

Straight up, it’s a pretty quiet start to the outlook. The first real action we get is on Wednesday morning, August 26th. A small but clean SW groundswell rolls in at 2 ft with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is weak (213), but with a light cross-off SSW breeze at 3 mph, the conditions are clean. By Wednesday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, the swell nudges up to 2 ft, and the energy picks up a bit (275). It’s not big, but it’s clean and inviting.

Then we hit a rough patch. From Thursday, August 27th, right through to Monday, September 1st, things get messy. The wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the NNW, and picks up speed. Thursday morning has a 2 ft SW swell (278 energy) but 6 mph onshore wind ruins it. By Friday afternoon, the wind is 16 mph from the NNW, the swell is 2 ft, and the energy jumps to 430, but it’s all poor conditions. Saturday and Sunday are even worse with strong cross-onshore winds up to 22 mph making the ocean lumpy and choppy. Monday’s a bit of a write-off too with marginal conditions.

Things start to look up again on Tuesday morning, September 1st. The wind goes glassy from the WNW at 3 mph, and we’ve got a 2 ft SW swell (299 energy). It’s clean and glassy again. Wednesday, September 2nd, brings a 3 ft WNW swell with a short 9-second period, but the wind is cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, making for clean surf (353 energy).

Then, a standout. Thursday, September 3rd morning. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 1086 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is light from the NW at 6 mph, which is onshore, but the power is there. The wave comment says marginal, but for a bigger swell like this, you’ll want to be an experienced surfer. It’s the biggest push of the whole forecast.

After that, Friday September 4th through the weekend, the swell drops back to 2 ft to 4 ft, and the wind is onshore or light cross-onshore. Nothing special. The best of the rest comes on Sunday, September 6th afternoon, with a 3 ft WNW swell (11-second period) and clean cross-off winds from the SW at 6 mph (416 energy). Then Monday, September 7th afternoon goes glassy again with a 3 ft NW swell (341 energy). That’s the best you’ll see in the second week.

So, the best on offer is Thursday morning, September 3rd for the 6 ft NW swell. That’s the one to pencil in. For clean, smaller waves, Wednesday morning August 26th, Tuesday morning September 1st, and Monday afternoon September 7th are your glassy windows.

Rusty.

Information about the Nesika Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Nesika Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nesika Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nesika Beach 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 (Nesika Beach) 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 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. 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.
