The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what Nesika Beach has in store. Gotta be honest, it’s a rough patch ahead. The water’s sitting at 53°, a good 5° colder than usual for this time – you’re gonna need a thick suit.
The first few days are a total mess. Wednesday the 19th is a washout with 3ft of W swell, a short 11-second period, and a stiff 25 km/h NNW wind shredding it. The weak combined energy (436) says it all. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are only slightly better – swell between 2ft and 4ft but the wind never cleans it up. Saturday the 22nd morning offers a light cross-off, and by afternoon it goes glassy with 2ft of SW swell and a nice 13-second period (181 energy), but it’s tiny. You *could* surf it, but just barely.
Then the wind cranks up. From Sunday the 23rd all the way through Saturday the 29th, it’s a dusty, lumpy mess. Cross-onshore NNW winds at 30-35 km/h, with choppy lines. Swells are small but the period gets long (14-18 seconds) later in the week. Combined energy sometimes hits 377 or 381, but it’s all wind-affected junk. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are your last, best chance. Sunday afternoon shows 3ft of SW swell with 16 seconds of period and energy up at 510, but the wind is still onshore – marginal. The real standout is Monday the 31st of August afternoon. That session looks pristine: 5ft of NW swell (8-second period) with glassy conditions and combined energy of 445. Barely a breath of wind. That’s the one to aim for. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean. At 5ft on that short period, expect it to be a bit fat and rolly.
After that, the first of September brings back the strong NNW winds and poor surf, with energy dropping to 279 and 242. By the 2nd and 3rd of September, energy bottoms out at 90 and the wind is relentless. A bleak finish to the run.
So for the next 16 days, there’s really only one standout: Monday the 31st of August afternoon at Nesika Beach. Glassy, 5ft from the NW, and the only truly good surf in a long, dusty stretch.
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.
