The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Nesika Beach for the next couple of weeks.
I’m gonna level with you – this is a rough patch. We’re looking at a big, long gap with not much to get excited about. The first real chance of anything decent isn’t until Monday, August 3rd, and even that’s a maybe. That’s a solid two weeks of waiting. It’s the kind of run that makes you just want to go for a paddle and not worry about catching a wave.
The main problem is that onshore wind from the NW. It just won’t back off. On Monday, July 20th, we’ve got a weak 4ft NW windswell with a short 8-second period, and onshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (487), but it’s a messy, gutless affair. And that’s the story for days. We get a few pulses of long-period SW groundswell (16 seconds), but the swell height is tiny – 2ft to 3ft. The energy is moderate (between 239 and 422), but with that onshore wind, it’s just not gonna shape up. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
The one thing that stands out, and I’m using that word carefully, is that Monday morning on August 3rd. We finally get a break in the wind. There’s a 5ft NW swell with only 8 seconds of period, but the wind goes light and onshore from the NW. The combined energy is moderate (453). It’s not a classic, it’s a windswell, but that light breeze might just clean it up enough for a few fun little waves. Still, the period is short, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and fat. For a beginner, 5ft is getting a bit much, especially with that short period. It’s not a standout for the ages, but it’s the only thing on the whole board that’s not a total zero.
For the rest of the run, from July 20th right through to August 2nd, the combo of onshore and cross-onshore winds and weak, messy swell makes it look more like a kiteboarding spot than a paddle-surf spot. The last few days of July and the start of August see that NW windswell pick up a bit, but the wind gets fresh to strong. It’s a choppy, lumpy mess.
So, if you’re really keen, mark your calendar for Monday, August 3rd. Otherwise, I’d be giving this one a miss and checking back in a few days. Forecasts can turn around, and it can’t stay this poor forever.
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.
