The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Nesika Beach.
We’re in a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, I’m not gonna lie. The first week is basically a write-off. We’ve got weak, messy swell with cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The water is sitting at 54°, which is a couple of degrees colder than what you’d expect for this time of year – definitely feels like winter’s hangin’ around. Don’t bother paddling out until the second week.
The gap between any decent surf and now runs for about 6 days. It’s not until Monday the 17th that we see a flicker of hope. By Monday afternoon, the wind drops to glassy, and we get a tiny 2ft swell from the SW with a period of 15 seconds. It’s small, but clean. The combined energy is 299 (moderate), but honestly, it’s more of a longboard or foiling session than a proper wave.
The real standout window is Tuesday the 18th through Wednesday the 19th. On Tuesday morning, it’s glassy, with a 2ft SW swell (period 14 seconds) and energy at 207 (moderate). But the better call is Wednesday afternoon the 19th: glassy conditions again, 3ft SW swell, period 16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 443 (moderate). That’s the cleanest, most lined-up the waves will be. Still small, but if you’ve got a log, this is your window.
From Thursday the 20th onward, it’s back to poor surf with cross-onshore winds, though there’s a marginal bump on Tuesday the 25th with a 5ft NW swell (period 7 seconds) and energy hitting 615 (strong). That’s a short-period, wind-driven swell, so it’ll be choppy and only for the experienced. Not the best.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, keep your eyes on Wednesday the 19th. It’s not big, but it’s clean and glassy.
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.
