Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nesika Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on Nesika Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it's a tough stretch. The water is a frigid 51°F, which is a full 5°F colder than normal for this time of year – that's a very unusual chill, so you'll be needing a thick steamer and booties if you're even thinking about it. The forecast is a long, grim run of onshore wind and messy surf. The first week is basically a write-off. From Thursday the 9th right through to Thursday the 16th, it's a solid 8 days of 'poor surf conditions' with the wind howling onshore, mostly from the NNW and NW. The swell is a mix of short, bumpy windswell, and the energy is weak to moderate. You're looking at constant onshore wind, making for lumpy, choppy lines. It's just not worth it.
Things get a little less hopeless around the second week. On Friday the 17th, the morning has a slight chance of something rideable, as the wind goes light and onshore, with a 2ft swell from the west at a very long 17 second period. That does have a clean, long-period groundswell feel to it, but the wave energy is moderate. It's a marginal call, but it's the best we've seen in a while. The afternoon of that Friday picks up to 5ft from the NW, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it's back to the messy stuff.
The weekend of the 19th and 20th of July might be the best bet. Swell sizes are between 4ft and 6ft, all from the NW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is finally looking light onshore (6-9 mph from the NW), which is a big improvement. The wave energy is moderate. The weekend of the 19th and 20th is the only time I'd even consider it. The afternoon of the 19th is the best rating in the entire 16-day window. The winds are light enough that the surf might be a bit more organised. It's not going to be epic, but it's the stand-out window.
The 24th of July sees a jump in size to 7ft from the NW, but it's accompanied by a moderate onshore breeze. That's going to be a messy, powerful windswell, really only for the experienced crew looking for a challenge.
To be honest, for most of this run, the conditions are so onshore and lumpy that this beach break setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The chase isn't really on. I'm not seeing any true standouts, just a couple of average days in the second week. Keep an eye on the light wind days around the 19th and 20th.
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.
