The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Nesika Beach.
We’re starting off this afternoon (Thursday the 3rd) with a 6ft WNW swell. The water’s running at 54°, which is nearly 4° colder than average for this time of year – that’s a serious chill, so suit up thick. Winds are cross-off from the SSW, keeping it looking clean, but the overall vibe is still pretty marginal. The energy is decent at 1180 (moderate to strong), but it’s not a standout.
The real bright spot in the first week is Friday morning, September 4th. A 6ft WNW groundswell with a long 10-second period, light cross-off breeze from the SSE, and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” Energy is still strong at 978. That’s the session to aim for. By Friday afternoon, rain and a drop in energy take it off the table.
Saturday the 5th is tiny – 3-3ft of SW swell – and while the period is a very long 16 seconds, that kind of long-period groundswell at a beach break tends to close out and run straight. Not the fun kind of wave.
From Sunday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 9th, we’re looking at flat to knee-high surf. Wave energy dips into the weak range (under 100), so that’s a solid 3-4 day dry spell.
Thursday afternoon the 10th offers a little bump – 3ft SW swell from a very long 17-second period with energy at 702 – but the wind turns onshore from the NW. No thanks.
The next real chance is Saturday, September 12th. Both morning and afternoon show a 4ft WNW swell with a solid 11-second period, cross-off breezes from the SSW, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (647 and 603), and the afternoon is another “expect very good surf conditions” call. This is a promising long-range standout, but we’ll have to wait and see if the forecast holds.
From Sunday the 13th onward, it’s a downhill slide. Winds go onshore, bumpy, and choppy. By Wednesday the 16th, with 30+ km/h cross-onshore winds, Nesika Beach would be a better spot for kite surfing than paddling out.
Highlight of the whole window: Friday morning the 4th. Second pick: Saturday the 12th. There’s a lot of wait-and-see in between.
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.
