Nesika Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk surf for Nesika Beach. We've got a mixed bag across this 16-day run, so let's get into it.

We start off pretty grim. Thursday afternoon the 10th through Friday the 11th is a write-off – onshore winds have everything messy and weak. The combined energy is up there (495 on Thursday, jumping to 893 Friday afternoon), but it's all wind-affected junk. Not worth paddling out.

The first real glimmer comes Saturday morning, the 12th. A cross-offshore wind from the SSW makes for clean conditions, with a 3-foot SW swell at 14 seconds. Combined energy sits at 535 (moderate). It's small, but it's rideable and clean. That afternoon sees rain and a slight dip, but still a decent option if you're keen.

Sunday the 13th gets blown out again. A NW wind comes straight onshore, pushing a messy 4 to 5-foot NW swell with a short 9-second period. No good.

Then we hit a long dry spell. From Monday the 14th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, it's mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind, with waves under 4 feet and short periods. The energy fluctuates, but the quality is consistently poor. There's a brief moment on the evening of Thursday the 17th where a 1-foot, 21-second groundswell from the SW appears with light cross-shore winds – but it's tiny and marginal. Friday the 18th afternoon and Saturday the 19th look clean with cross-offshore winds and a building 2 to 2-foot SW swell (period 19-18 seconds), but again, very small. The energy is in the 300-450 range, but it's not enough to get excited about.

The standout of the whole forecast comes next week. On Thursday the 24th, we get a beautiful afternoon. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – with a 4-foot NW groundswell at 9 seconds. Combined energy is 426 (moderate). This will be clean, easy to paddle out, and friendly for all levels. That's the best the window has to offer.

The morning of Friday the 25th is also worth a mention – a tiny 1-foot SW swell coming from way out at 23 seconds under light cross-shore winds – but it's a whisper. The afternoon of the 25th goes glassy again with a 2-foot WNW swell at 15 seconds, but again, not much size.

Overall, if you want the cleanest, most user-friendly surf, your window is Thursday afternoon the 24th. It's about as good as it gets here this fortnight. For the rest, patience and a small board will serve you best.

Rusty.
