The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Nesika Beach. We’ve got a long, bleak 16-day window ahead, and I won’t sugarcoat it – the surf is pretty much a no-go.
Looking at the whole picture, it’s a real stare-at-the-ocean kind of stretch. The water is sitting at 53°F which is a massive 4°F colder than it should be for July, so the rubber is definitely staying on. The wind is nearly always onshore, mostly from the NNW, and the swell is a mess. The wave energy reading is moderate (480) on Monday morning, but it’s a short-period 4ft NW windswell with poor surf conditions. That never lets up. There’s a tiny window on Thursday afternoon, the 16th, where the swell drops to 2ft from the west with a long 18-second period and the wind eases to a light breeze (10 km/h), but the combined energy is still moderate (748) and the conditions are called "marginal." That’s the best we get, and it’s not worth paddling out for.
Through the rest of the first week, it’s a flat or blown-out mess. We get a bit of a bump on Saturday the 18th – 5ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore at 25 mph, making it sloppy with strong wave energy (1062). That’s more of a kite-surfing kind of day. By the 20th, the swell hits 6ft from the NW, but again, it’s short-period windswell and the wind is onshore. It’s a total write-off until the end of the month.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday the 21st right through to Tuesday the 28th, it’s the same story: small, weak swells (2ft to 5ft) with onshore or cross-onshore NNW winds, and the combined energy readings (308 to 606) are moderate at best. The whole forecast is a flat, blown-out, cold-water slog. The lookout is empty, and the consistency is poor. It’s just one of those stretches for Nesika Beach.
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.
