The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for Nesika Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you: the first week is mostly a waiting game. Swell is tiny, the combined wave energy is pretty low, and the wind’s often cross or onshore. Tuesday afternoon the 25th gives us a tiny glimmer with a glassy 2ft swell from the SW, but it’s nothing to write home about. We get a few glassy windows on Wednesday the 26th too, with 2ft to 2ft, still just ankle-biters. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is about average for this time of year here.
The real story picks up as we head into September. The best window we’ve got is on Tuesday the 1st. Both morning and afternoon are looking good with a clean, 3ft to 3ft swell from the WNW, off-shore leaning cross-off winds at 6 mph, and a solid moderate energy reading. That’s your standout session. The wind is light and the waves will have a bit of shape. Wednesday the 2nd afternoon could also be a quiet one with glassy 3ft WNW swell, perfect for a sunset paddle.
Now, there’s a bigger spike around the 3rd and 4th, with combined energy climbing into the strong range (524 to 815). But the problem is it’s all onshore – NW and NNW winds from 9 to 12 mph, with messy 6ft windswell on Thursday the 3rd morning. That’s too lumpy for a good surf, but could actually be interesting for kite surfing if that’s your thing.
After that, we slide back into a long run of onshore winds and weak to moderate swell through the second week. There are no real standouts from the 5th of September onward. The swell stays small, mostly below 3ft, and winds are either onshore or cross-onshore, often from the NNW. It’s a dry spell, but don’t lose hope – it’s not unusual for this area to go quiet.
So, to sum it up: keep your eye on Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s your best bet for some clean, fun waves with a bit of energy behind them.
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.
