The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for Nesika Beach. It's a pretty bleak run overall, I'm not gonna lie. The first ten days are a write-off. We've got a long stretch of poor surf conditions with cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy seas that are just not worth your time. The swell is small and weak, with combined wave energy mostly under 500 (moderate) but often below that, and the winds are just all wrong. Kite surfers might get a look on some of those windier days, but for a paddle surfer, it's a no-go from Saturday the 5th right through to at least Monday the 14th.
Then, finally, on Monday afternoon the 14th, things start to turn. We get a glassy window with a light southwesterly breeze. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the southwest, with a 13-second period. The combined energy is still weak at 233, but it's clean. This is your only real opportunity. Tuesday the 15th morning is also clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is even smaller at 1ft and a longer 17-second period from the southwest. That's a groundswell, so it'll be offering better shape and energy, but the size is for the small-wave gear only. The combined energy is only 202 (weak).
The water temperature is sitting at 55°, which is about 3° colder than usual for this time of year. That's a notable chill, so you'll want a thicker wetsuit, especially for those small, slow sessions.
Beyond that, it's back to poor conditions. Wednesday the 16th through to Sunday the 20th is all cross-onshore winds and choppy surf again. There's no standout quality on offer here. The only window worth paddling out for is that brief glassy spell on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. The forecast for later in the second week is less certain, but the pattern doesn't look like it's changing for the better.
So, to sum it up: don't bother for the first week and a half. If you're desperate, keep an eye on Monday the 14th afternoon and Tuesday the 15th morning for a tiny, clean window.
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.
