The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Nesika Beach has cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.

Truth is, the first twelve days or so are a total bust. From Friday the 7th of August right through to Tuesday the 18th of August, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind is howlin’ out of the north-northwest, mostly cross-onshore, and it’s just tearin’ up any chance of a decent wave. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and what little energy there is gets chopped to bits. You’re lookin’ at a solid 12-day dry spell with nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for.

Now, stick with me, because things finally turn around on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning is still a bit iffy, with a 4ft swell from the west at 12 seconds, and a light cross-shore breeze from the southwest. The combined energy hits 643 (moderate), but it’s the afternoon that gets my heart pumpin’. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – with a light air from the southwest. That same west swell pushes up to 5ft, period holdin’ at a solid 12 seconds, and the energy jumps to 851 (moderate). That’s the standout of the whole forecast. Clean, glassy conditions on a building west groundswell. For an exposed spot like Nesika Beach, that’s about as good as it gets this far out. The water temp is sittin’ at 52°F, which is a whopping 5°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit and booties. This spot is fairly consistent, but it faces northwest, so that west swell should wrap in nicely. Keep in mind, with a 5ft swell, it’s gettin’ a bit much for beginners, but for the intermediates, that afternoon session on Wednesday the 19th is the one to aim for.

Thursday the 20th of August still has some west swell, around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind goes back onshore and the quality drops off. By Friday the 21st, it’s fadin’ and the wind’s back up, so that window is tight.

So, the call is simple: endure the long flat spell, then target the afternoon of Wednesday the 19th of August for the cleanest, most promising surf of the whole outlook. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but the signs are good.

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.
