The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – if you're looking for a paddle this forecast period, you're gonna be disappointed. This is a tough one for Nesika Beach.

Looking at the whole 16-day window from the start of August, there's just nothing on offer. The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the entire run, every single morning and afternoon. Every single entry gets a score of zero. It's a complete blank. There's no standout day, no hidden gem, nothing to get excited about. We're talking a solid 16 days of zero recommendations.

The issue is a classic case of wind and swell fighting each other. From the first Saturday morning of August right through to the second weekend, we've got a persistent, moderate to strong breeze coming from the north-northwest or north. That wind is mostly cross-onshore, which is just about the worst direction for cleaning up the waves here. It's creating lumpy, choppy, and messy conditions. The swell itself is coming in from the northwest, which is the wrong direction for this spot. Nesika Beach needs a southeast offshore wind and a northwest swell to work, and we're getting the opposite.

The water temperature is sitting at 56°, which is about 1° below normal for the time of year – nothing wild, just a bit cool.

Don't even bother looking at the numbers. The swell height might look okay on paper, hitting 6 ft on Sunday the 2nd and 6 ft on Monday the 3rd, but it's short-period stuff at 8 seconds, and the combined energy (728 and 513) is moderate but completely wasted on the wind. The same goes for the later part of the run. By the second week, around the 13th of August, we see a longer-period swell from the southwest at 15-18 seconds, with some decent energy (723 on the 15th), but again, the wind is a mess. That long-period groundswell would be a treat at a point break, but with that cross-onshore wind, it's just gonna be a washing machine.

If you're a kite surfer, this setup might actually be your jam. The combination of a decent sized, short-period swell and a strong cross-onshore wind is a recipe for a fun session on a kite. But for a paddle surfer? There's nothing here. I hate to say it, but this is a period where the ocean just isn't cooperating. The forecast could change, but for now, this is a hard pass.

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.
