The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Nesika Beach.
Alright, straight up, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a bummer. We've got a decent sized, long-period SW groundswell pushing through, but the wind is just going to be a persistent problem. The water is sitting at 53°F which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a good wetsuit.
The first chance for a wave is Saturday morning, July 25th. We're looking at a 3ft SW swell with a very long 21-second period. The combined energy is moderate (831). The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, so that morning session should be clean. It's a marginal forecast, but that's the best window we've got. The swell direction is a solid match for the break.
By Saturday afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore, and the quality drops. Sunday morning, July 26th, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW, but the wind is onshore from the WNW. The energy kicks up a notch (1087), but the onshore wind will mess it up. The rest of the week and into August is a write-off. The wind is relentless from the NNW and NW, blowing onshore and cross-onshore, often at 15 to 25 mph. The swell drops off, and the conditions are labeled "poor" across the board. The waves are small, choppy, and messy.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is that Saturday morning, July 25th. It's not going to be a classic, but with that long period and clean-ish wind, it's your best bet. After that, there's a solid run of nothing until the very end of the forecast. The swell returns in the second week, but it's short-period windswell from the NNW, and the wind is howling, making it look more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. A blank run like this is pretty normal for this area when the winds don't cooperate.
Stay hopeful, check the forecasts, and maybe pick up a new hobby for a week.
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.
