Nesika Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.

This outlook for Nesika Beach is a real bummer. The whole 16 days is filled with small, messy, and wind-whipped conditions. There’s nothing that stands out as a good session. The first few days are barely worth getting wet for. The only slight chance comes on Tuesday the 25th, but it’s still tiny. The rest of the run is mostly blown out or too sloppy.

Sunday the 23rd – Skip it. Tiny 1ft swell from the southwest with a very long 19-second period, but a moderate to fresh cross-onshore NNW wind at 12 to 19 mph is making it choppy and lumpy. Combined wave energy is weak (190). No score here.

Monday the 24th – Still marginal. Swell bumps to 2ft to 2ft from the southwest, with a long 18-second period. Wind is light from the WSW at 3 mph, so only small cross-onshore ripples. Combined energy is moderate (222 to 286). Still barely worth a look.

Tuesday the 25th – This is the closest to a highlight. Morning sees a clean 2ft southwest swell with a 17-second period and a light cross-offshore SW breeze at 9 mph. Combined energy is moderate (241). The afternoon goes limp with light cross-shore wind and small crossing ripples. If you’re desperate, the morning is your best bet, but don’t expect much push.

Wednesday the 26th through Thursday the 4th – A long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. Swell stays small, mostly 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore from the NNW or NW, often moderate to fresh, making it choppy, lumpy, and messy. A few days, like the 1st of September afternoon and the 2nd, show a short-period 4ft to 4ft WNW swell, but with onshore wind and a period of just 9 seconds, it’s weak and sloppy. Combined energy varies from weak (152) up to moderate (685), but it’s poor quality. By the 5th and 6th of September, there’s a bit more size – 5ft from the northwest on the 6th – but that’s paired with fresh cross-onshore winds and a very short 7-second period, making it a messy, blown-out mess. Too big for beginners, and not clean for anyone. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.

The Bottom Line: There are no good surf options in this 16-day window for Nesika Beach. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but the swell and wind just aren’t playing along. Consistent poor conditions mean this blank run is unfortunately normal for the area right now. Hang tight, forecasts can change.
