The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. We're looking at Nesika Beach for the next couple of weeks. It's an exposed, fairly consistent spot that's better for the intermediate crew. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September have tiny swell, around 2ft to 3ft from the SW. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but the energy is weak and the whole thing looks marginal. Wednesday the 2nd is a total no-go with heavy rain and strong winds, so you can leave the board in the shed.
Then we get a glimmer. Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, is the real standout. The swell jumps to 6ft from the WNW, with a glassy wind and a solid 9-second period. The energy is moderate and the conditions are described as "very good." This is the time to be in the water. The wind is going to be clean, and the waves will have some punch. Later that day and into Friday, the wind swings onshore from the NW, so the quality drops off.
The weekend is a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday the 5th has more of a SW groundswell coming through with a long 16-second period, but the wind is onshore and the energy is dropping. Sunday the 6th is similar, with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The start of the next week looks poor with fresh onshore winds and lumpy conditions.
Now, there's a big gap of poor conditions until we get to the next promising window. Keep an eye on Thursday the 10th of September. The afternoon shows a clean cross-off wind with a 2ft SW swell. The period is a very long 17 seconds, and the energy is moderate. It's a small window, but the wind is right.
The other real standout is Friday the 11th of September. The afternoon is looking glassy, with a 6ft NW swell. The period is a short 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate. The clean, glassy conditions will make it a fun session, even if the swell is a bit short period. The wind is going to be proper offshore, so it's worth a look.
After that, the onshore winds return for the weekend and into the following week, with the swell getting a bit bigger but messy. The last few days of the forecast are small and windy, so it's not looking like a good finish.
So, to keep it simple: Thursday morning the 3rd and Friday afternoon the 11th are your best bets. The 3rd has the size and glass, the 11th has the glass and a clean line-up. Get out there.

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.
