The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a proper look at Nesika Beach. It’s been a bit of a tough stretch lately, and honestly, the first week or so doesn’t have much for us. The wind has been howling from the north-west, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell has been small and weak. You’re looking at a lot of poor surf conditions right through until the end of August and into the start of September. There’s a gap of several days where there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 57°F – about average for this time of year, so the wetsuit is staying on.

Now, hold on though, because things start to change around the 1st of September. That Tuesday morning, the wind swings around to a light south-southwesterly, blowing cross-offshore, and the wave comment says "expect good surf conditions". The swell is only 3ft from the west-northwest with a short period of 9 seconds, so it won’t be huge, but with that clean wind, it’ll be rideable. The combined wave energy is moderate (333).

But the real standout, the one you want to keep an eye on, is Thursday the 3rd of September. In the afternoon, the wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions – and a 2ft swell rolls in from the southwest with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s the kind of groundswell that’ll wrap in with real push and shape, making for clean, lined-up waves. The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions", and the combined energy is moderate (564). That is the session to aim for, no doubt about it.

Things get a bit mixed again after that. Friday the 4th of September sees a jump in swell size, with 7ft from the west-northwest on the morning. That’s getting into expert territory size-wise, and the wind is onshore. The wave state is unknown, but given the wind direction, it’s probably a bit lumpy. Great for a look, but only for the experienced crew.

Saturday the 5th and beyond, the swell drops back to small 2ft to 3ft, and the wind stays onshore, so it’s back to poor conditions through the second week. There are a couple of morning sessions around the 10th of September where the wind is very light, but the wave comment is still "marginal", so temper expectations.

So, to sum it up: sit tight through this week, the 1st of September has a clean but small option, but the clear winner is that glassy afternoon on Thursday the 3rd of September. That’s the one to mark on the calendar.

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.
