The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for Nesika Beach is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, and honestly, the next couple of weeks offer very little for paddle surfers. The data shows a persistent, strong north-northwest wind that’s just going to mess things up.
The water temperature is a real shocker right now, sitting at 51°F with a -5°F anomaly. That’s much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be needing a thick suit and booties if you’re even thinking about getting in.
The first real chance to even consider a surf doesn’t come until Monday afternoon, July 20th. Even then, it’s a marginal call. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SW at 16 seconds, and the wind is from the NW at 9 mph, which is onshore. The combined swell energy is moderate at 503, but the conditions are just “questionable”. It’s not going to be pretty.
The next little flicker is on Tuesday afternoon, July 21st. Same story – a 2ft SW swell, 15-second period, but the wind is still onshore from the NW at 9 mph. Combined energy is 565, still moderate. This is another marginal one, not worth getting excited about.
Looking further out, the swell does pick up a bit. On Thursday, July 23rd, we get a 5ft NW swell rolling in with a short period of 8 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, and with the NNW wind at 19 mph, it’s going to be a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. The energy is moderately strong at 809, but it’s not going to be a surfer’s wave. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only other day that gets a passing glance is Saturday, July 25th, in the morning. We see a 3ft SW swell with a very long period of 21 seconds, and the energy is strong at 1073. The wind is onshore from the NNW at 12 mph. That long period will suck the life out of a beach break, making it close out straight, but it’s the only “marginal” window we get. The rest of the run is all “poor surf conditions.”
Don’t expect any standouts here. The forecasts for the second week are just as grim. The break is consistent, but the conditions are consistently poor. It’s a blank run, and for this area, it’s a normal, frustrating stretch of summer.
Stay dry, folks.
Rusty.

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.
