The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening along this stretch of coast.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the next week or so. The only spot on the radar is Nesika Beach, and for the first several days, the conditions are just not cooperating. From Tuesday the 11th right through to the morning of Sunday the 16th, the surf is tiny and the wind is all over the place – mostly cross-on or onshore, making things choppy and lumpy. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the afternoon of Sunday the 16th. Swell is still small, around 3ft from the southwest, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, which is promising for shape. The wind is light and onshore, so the surface won’t be perfect, but the combined wave energy is moderate (473). It’s marginal, but for a patient surfer, there might be a sneaky clean wave or two.
The standout window comes on Wednesday the 19th. The morning sees a little bump from the west at 3ft and a 12-second period, with light cross-onshore wind. But the real deal is the afternoon: glassy conditions, with a 3ft west swell and an 11-second period. The water is glassy – that’s a major plus. The combined energy is strong (412). This is your best bet in the whole 16-day forecast. It’s not massive, but it’ll be clean and fun for an intermediate.
After that, Thursday the 20th morning still has a 3ft west swell, but the wind picks up onshore, and things get lumpy again. The rest of the period into the 25th and 26th sees small southwest swells with onshore winds and poor surf conditions. Nothing to get excited about.
So, if you’re itching for a paddle, aim for the Wednesday afternoon glass-off at Nesika Beach. That’s the only true standout in this run.
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.
