The Lowdown

Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Nesika Beach over the next couple of weeks. I’ll level with you: it’s a tough stretch. There’s swell around, but the wind is just wrecking the quality for most of it. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions before anything starts to look halfway decent.

The first real chance you’ll want to paddle out is Tuesday afternoon, the 21st of July. The wind finally lightens up, swinging cross-offshore and cleaning the surface. The swell is small, only 2ft from the SW, and the period is a solid 15 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell with some grunt. The energy is on the weaker side (298), but for a clean, small-wave session, it’s our first highlight. The water is running much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a thicker wetsuit.

Now, keep your eye on Friday afternoon, the 24th of July. The wind goes glassy, and the swell is from the SW with a very long period of 24 seconds. That’s a beautiful, long-period groundswell that will wrap in nicely. The height is only about 2ft, but the energy is moderate (572). This is the kind of day where a point break or reef would be magic, but even at a beach setup, those long lines will be clean and fun. That’s a standout window for a small-wave cruise.

The following Saturday morning, the 25th, sees a bump in swell to about 3ft from the SW, with a period of 21 seconds and energy climbing to 776. The wind is onshore, but light, so it’s worth a look. It’s a marginal call, but the swell has good shape. Sunday the 26th morning pushes a 3ft SW swell with a 20-second period and strong energy at 1082. Again, the wind is onshore, but if you’re hungry for a bit more size, that’s your window.

After that, the wind really cranks up from the end of July into the 31st, with strong onshore and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The 31st of July afternoon sees a 5ft NW swell, but it’s short-period at 7 seconds and blown out by a 25 mph wind. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.

So, the pick of the fortnight is the glassy Friday afternoon on the 24th, and the clean Tuesday afternoon on the 21st. The rest is mostly wind-affected or marginal. It’s a quiet patch, but with a bit of patience, there are a couple of moments worth getting wet for.

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.
