The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at whats on offer for Nesika Beach over the next couple of weeks.
The story is a grim one, fellas. We're looking at a long, dry spell with strong onshore winds tearing up whatever surf tries to show. For the first week and a half, youre better off waxing your boards and waiting. There is a tiny, clean window around the 17th and 18th, but it's not going to be a world-beater.
From Monday the 10th all the way through Sunday the 16th, it's a total bust. We've got strong, onshore winds—gusting up to 25 mph from the NNW—which are just destroying the weak, short-period swell. Even when the ocean has some energy, the conditions are consistently "poor" or "marginal." The water is also running much colder than normal for this time of year at 53.6°F, which is a solid 3.8°F below average, so don't expect a pleasant soak.
Finally, on Monday the 17th afternoon, things get interesting. The wind swings to the WSW and drops to a glassy 3 mph. The swell is small, coming from the southwest at 3ft with a 14-second period. It's not big, but that long period will give it some decent push. The wave energy is moderate (372). Then Tuesday the 18th morning looks even better—totally glassy, with the wind completely dead. The swell drops to 2ft, still from the SW and still with that nice 14-second interval. It's small, but it will be the cleanest surf of the entire forecast. For any of you who don't mind surfing tiny waves, these two sessions are the only true standouts. For beginners, it doesn't get any easier or cleaner.
After that, it’s right back to the wind and mess. Wednesday the 19th afternoon and beyond the onshore flow returns, and we’re back to the same old story of poor, choppy conditions through the rest of the second week. There's a faint chance of a slight improvement around the 23rd and 24th with some smaller, long-period SW swell and lighter breezes, but that forecast is much less certain that far out. Keep the expectations low overall for Nesika Beach this fortnight.

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.
