Nesika Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, taking a look at the full stretch ahead. It's a bit of a bum steer for the most part, with the first week and a half looking pretty lackluster for surf.

The pattern is dominated by breezy, onshore winds that are just killing any chance of clean waves. Swell energy is weak for days on end, with readings mostly in the 200 to 300 range, and the water temp is about average for the time of year. It's just a lot of chop with nothing behind it.

From the 14th to the 17th, it's small and blown out. No real swell, just crumbly little waves with onshore winds. You could squint and see something on the 15th afternoon, but the wind ruins it. Just a poor run.

Through the 18th, 19th, and 20th, we finally see a little more size, pushing up to around 1.1m, but the wind remains the enemy. It's cross-onshore and fresh, turning whatever is there into a lumpy mess. The energy readings are in the 400s on the 19th, but it won't matter. It'll be a choppy, blown-out shore dump.

After that, the 21st through the 24th, we slip back into the poor-to-marginal zone. Small, short-period surf is all we're getting. The winds, while lighter at times, are still onshore or cross-onshore. It's a waiting game, and not a fun one.

But then we get to the one true highlight of the entire forecast period, and it comes on Wednesday the 26th. The wind drops out completely and goes glassy in the afternoon. We've got a solid 2.0m swell from the northwest, with the energy readings jumping to the high 700s, which is by far the strongest we see. This is the real deal. For Nesika Beach, this is the size and direction we want to see. The period is a short 9 seconds, which will make it a bit sectiony, but with absolutely clean, glassy conditions, it could be a proper session. This is the one to be out for. Just remember, at 2.0m, this is strictly for the experienced folks. The beginners should be watching from the beach or finding something else to do.

The day before and the morning of the 26th are building but still a bit cross-shore and messy, and then the 27th and 28th see the wind and conditions deteriorate again with energy dropping back into the 300s.

So, the takeaway is: don't get your hopes up for the next ten days. Be patient, get your gear ready, and have your sights set on the 26th. It's a long way out, but it's the one with the most promise. It could be a cracker.

Rusty out.
