The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Nesika Beach. It’s a fairly exposed, intermediate-level spot that’s best with swell from the NW, but we’ve got a real mixed bag coming our way. The water temperature is sitting at 57°, which is a touch below what’s normal for this time of year – nothing too wild, but you’ll feel that slight chill.
The next few days are pretty grim. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions starting right now. Sunday the 30th is a write-off – a messy, cross-onshore wind and a weak 3-ft SW swell with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 532, but it’s all chopped up. Monday the 31st shows a little life: Monday afternoon we get a glassy window with a 3-ft SW swell, 14-second period, and clean conditions. That’s the first real chance, but it’s only a 2 out of 10 call. Tuesday the 1st of September stays clean with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is tiny and short-period – not worth rushing out for.
Now, here’s the standout. Thursday the 3rd of September morning and afternoon both look very good. Swell jumps to 6-ft from the WNW, period is a short 10 seconds, but the energy is strong (730 in the morning, 882 in the afternoon). Winds are light and cross-off, keeping it clean. This is the best on offer – a solid head-high wave with good shape. That’s your window. Friday the 4th holds okay with a 3-ft SW swell, long 18-second period, and clean conditions, but the energy is still moderate to strong (816). Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th mornings also have clean, glassy moments with waist-high SW swell, but nothing as punchy as Thursday.
After that, it falls apart again. From Monday the 7th onward, the wind swings mostly NNW, turning cross-onshore and choppy, with a few days of lumpy, messy surf. The energy drops off, and by the second week we’re looking at tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. There’s a brief flicker on Tuesday the 8th afternoon with a 4-ft NW swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and with a cross-off breeze it’s only “good,” not great. The rest of the second week is mostly a washout – onshore winds, small swell, and messy seas.
To sum it up: Thursday the 3rd is your day. Go then. The rest is a waiting game, but forecasts can change, and Nesika Beach is fairly consistent, so don’t lose hope.

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.
