The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Nesika Beach. Honestly, it’s a grim 16-day stretch. The whole forecast is a battle with onshore wind, and the water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is about average for the time of year. Nothing special.
The first big chunk, from Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to the afternoon of Tuesday the 11th of August, is a total write-off. Every session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” The wind is a constant headache, mostly from the NNW and NW, blowing at 9 to 28 mph, and it’s always onshore or cross-onshore. The swell is a mix of weak, short-period windswell, with wave heights from 2ft to 8ft, but the energy is all over the place. The combined swell energy ranges from the low 200s to 1807, but that 1807 spike on the 5th of August is an 8ft wave with a 9-second period, and it’s still blowing onshore, so it’s just a messy, blown-out lump. The biggest waves of the window are on the 5th of August afternoon, but it’s short-period and onshore, so it’s not a paddle surfer’s friend.
Then, a glimmer of hope. On the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August, the wind dies to a slight air at 3 mph, and we get a 2ft swell from the SW with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is 569, which is moderate, but that period is true groundswell. Nesika Beach is exposed to the NW, and this swell is from the SW, so it’s not the ideal angle, but with glassy, windless conditions and that long-period groundswell, this is the only window worth pulling on a wetsuit for. It’s tiny, clean, and long-period, so it’s a longboard or a mini-mal wave. The crowd profile says “often,” so you might have a few mates out. The next morning, Thursday the 13th of August, offers a similar 2ft swell from the SW at 16 seconds, with light cross-shore wind, but it’s still marginal.
For the kite surfers, the second week is a dream with that strong cross-onshore wind and solid swell, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long, dry spell. The only real standout, and it’s a small one, is that Wednesday the 12th of August morning with the glassy, long-period groundswell. It’s not much, but it’s the best you’re going to get.

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.
