The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Nesika Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a grim start. We’ve got a solid week of onshore or cross-onshore wind, mostly from the NNW, and that’s just trashing the waves. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Saturday, September 12th. The morning is marginal with a bit of light rain and a 3ft SW swell, but it's the afternoon that’s the pick of the whole first week. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSW, the swell stays around 3ft from the SW, and the wave comment for that afternoon session is "expect good surf conditions." The combined energy backs that up at 471 (moderate). It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun on a longboard.
After that, things go right back to rubbish. Monday the 14th sees a short-period (8 seconds) NW swell of 4ft to 4ft, but it’s all blown out. The rest of that week is just more of the same: onshore winds and tiny, weak swell.
There’s a glimmer of hope on Monday, September 22nd. The morning shows a 4ft NW swell pushing in, with an 11-second period, and lighter onshore winds. It's rated as "marginal," but with a combined energy of 622 (strong), there’s some power there. If the wind plays ball, it could offer up a few.
But the real standout is on Thursday, September 24th. The morning session is looking like the best of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 7ft NW swell arriving with a 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light and onshore, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is a massive 2352 (very strong), so there’s plenty of punch. This one is for the experienced crew only though; 7ft is getting into expert territory for sure. It's still a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed the forecast holds.
Stay patient out there, this blank run won't last forever.
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.
