The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this isn’t a great run for Nesika Beach. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but it’s going to be a real struggle to find anything worthwhile.
The first half of the outlook is a write-off. From Monday 27 July right through to the end of the first week, it’s just a grind of onshore and cross-onshore winds, with wave heights bouncing between 2 ft and 4 ft. The swell is coming from the SW, but it’s not matching the break’s optimum direction at all. The water’s sitting at 55°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is moderate at best (715), but that clean, glassy feel we all want just isn’t there. The wind is a constant problem – mostly onshore breezes or moderate cross-onshore winds, making it choppy and messy.
There’s a slight bump in size around Monday 5 August, with the swell pushing 5 ft to 6 ft from the NW on the morning and afternoon. But it’s still onshore wind, and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s going to be lumpy and poor quality. For a beginner, anything over 5 ft is a bit much, and with the wind like this, it’s not a beginner-friendly spot anyway.
The real kicker comes later in the run. On Tuesday 11 August, we see a long-period swell – 21 seconds – from the SW, but the waves are tiny at 2 ft. The combined energy is moderate (462 to 597), but a long-period groundswell that small is just going to be super inconsistent and weak. It’s a shame, because long period at a point break or reef can be magic, but here it’s just a tease. The wind is still cross-onshore, so forget about it.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day forecast. The best you could hope for is to maybe sit on the beach and watch the horizon, but don’t bother paddling out. The whole period is plagued by poor conditions and wind issues. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger afternoon breezes from the 1st of August might look interesting, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a no-go.
Keep your board waxed and hope the forecasts change. This is a blank run, and sometimes that’s just how it goes in this area.
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.
