The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next 16 days look pretty bleak, with a long stretch of poor surf. The first good window doesn’t arrive until Sunday the 16th, so you’ve got a week of nothing to get excited about.
Nesika Beach is the only spot in play. The first week is a washout – cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and flat-out messy. Swell heights are small, mostly under 5 ft, and periods are short, so the waves are weak and ugly. The combined swell energy sits in the moderate range, like 244 to 369, but with the wind blowing hard, it’s not worth your time.
Sunday the 16th is the real deal. Morning brings a light cross-offshore breeze from the southwest, with a 3 ft swell from the southwest, period of 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. Combined energy hits 472 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. By afternoon, it goes glassy – 3 ft, 13-second period from the southwest, energy at 459. This is your best bet. The water temperature is a bit colder than normal at 54°, about 4° below average, so you’ll need a thick suit.
Monday the 17th the wind shifts back onshore, ruining the waves, and it’s back to poor surf. Things stay marginal until Monday the 24th. That morning, it’s glassy again, with a 5 ft swell from the northwest, 8-second period – short period, but the energy is moderate at 410. It might be a bit quick and fat, but glassy conditions make it worthy. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 6 ft, with a light cross-shore breeze that could still be okay for experienced surfers. Crowds are “often” here, so expect some company.
The standout is Sunday the 16th – that glassy, long-period groundswell is the best window, but it doesn’t last long. Don’t miss it.

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.
