The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the only spot in the mix, Nesika Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a solid blank run for the first week. From the 10th of August right through to the 16th, the conditions are just no good. The wind is howling out of the north-northwest, hammering the beach with a constant cross-onshore breeze that's tearing the surface to bits. The swell is a mix of short-period, wind-affected stuff, and when it's not that, it's a long-period southwest swell that's just not getting the job done. The combined wave energy is moderate, but it's all messy and lumpy. You'd be better off staying on the beach.
Now, around the 17th of August, we get a little window. The wind finally backs off and swings around to the south, giving us a light cross-offshore breeze. The guidance is calling for a clean, waist-high swell from the southwest, around 3 ft, with a good 14-second period. That's a proper groundswell pulse. The energy is moderate, but the clean conditions will make it rideable. This is the best we've got. It's only a small window, though. By the 18th afternoon, the wind is already starting to shift again, and the quality drops back to marginal.
The 19th brings a bigger, more powerful swell from the northwest, but it's a no-go. The wind is back on it, and the 5 ft to 3 ft swell is getting shredded by a fresh breeze. The energy is strong, but it's useless for a paddle. Honestly, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for us.
After that, from the 20th onwards, we're back into a long stretch of onshore winds and poor-quality surf. The waves are small, the wind is wrong, and it's just a frustrating run of 'poor surf conditions' that goes all the way out to the 25th of August. The 4 ft on the 22nd and the 4 ft on the 21st are just not worth the paddle out with the wind ruining it.
So, the standout is that Monday the 17th of August. Early morning and afternoon will be your best bet. It's not a classic, but it's clean, and it's the only game in town. For the rest, save your wax.
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.

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.
