The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you what’s on the cards for Nesika Beach.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions with those strong NNW winds messing things up. The good news is that the weekend of the 12th and 13th of September finally shows some signs of life, but it’s not the standout yet.
The real gem is sitting way out there on Friday the 25th of September. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a clean, glassy morning with a smooth 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW. The period is a nice 12 seconds, giving those waves some real shape and push. The combined energy is solid (576), and with the wind barely a whisper, the surf will be clean and lined up. That Friday afternoon is just as good—still glassy, still 3ft. This is the best of the bunch by a long shot.
Before that, Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon offers a little window of hope. The wind drops to glassy, and we get a nice 2ft swell from the SW with a long 16-second period. The energy is light (242), so it’s more of a mellow longboard session, but it’ll be clean. Then Wednesday the 23rd of September afternoon also cleans up with glassy conditions and a 4ft NW swell, though the period is a shorter 10 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpier. Still, it’s a surfable option.
A heads up: on Tuesday the 22nd of September, the swell jumps to 6ft, but it’s straight onshore with a messy 30 km/h wind. That’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
The water is sitting at 56°, which is about 1° cooler than normal for this time of year. Nothing crazy, just a little on the chilly side, so keep the wetsuit zipped up.
Overall, that Friday the 25th is the real standout. The rest of the period is mostly waiting for the wind to play nice.
Stay stoked,
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.
