The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—looking at the next 16 days for Nesika Beach, and I gotta say, it's a tough stretch.
The overall pattern is a long, flat spell. There’s a bit of energy in the water, but the wind is just relentless. It’s almost always blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the north-west, which is ruining any chance of clean waves. You’ll see some moderate combined energy, like on Saturday the 15th with 509 (moderate wave energy) in the afternoon, but it’s paired with a poor surf call. The water is running much colder than normal for this time of year at 53°, which is more than five degrees cooler than average—very unusual, and it'll hit you when you paddle out.
From now through to the morning of Sunday the 23rd, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. Every session is flagged as "poor surf conditions." The wind is almost always on it, making things choppy and lumpy. Even when the swell height pushes up a little, the wind just kills it.
The only slight glimmer appears on the morning of Sunday the 23rd. We see a small jump in swell to 4 ft from the north-west, with a short period of 7 seconds—that’s weak, windswell stuff. The wind finally eases to a light breeze out of the north-west, going "on" at the beach, which could make things clean. The combined energy is 364 (moderate). It’s only a "marginal" call, so don't expect much, but it's the closest thing to a chance you’re gonna get in this whole window. There's a bump in size again Monday the 25th afternoon, hitting 5 ft from the north-west again (short 7-second period) with 442 energy, but the wind comes right back on it as a fresh cross-onshore, chopping it up—that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you ask me.
Honestly, there are no true standouts in this 16-day outlook. It’s a brutal run of poor conditions. For Nesika Beach, a blank run like this is normal when the wind pattern gets stuck. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass. Keep the board in the car for the morning of the 23rd, but don’t get your hopes up.
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.
