The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you.
We’re looking at a long stretch of very quiet conditions at Nesika Beach. The honest truth is, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for in the entire 16-day window. We’ve got a lot of days here where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
Right now, it’s a write-off. The swell is there, but it’s messy, short-period stuff with onshore winds tearing it apart. The combined wave energy is moderate, but the quality is shot. That onshore wind is just ruining any chance of a clean face. We’re staring down the barrel of a pretty big gap here – from the start of the period on August 13th all the way through to the morning of August 21st, there’s nothing I’d recommend you drive for.
Things finally show a tiny glimmer of life on Friday, August 21st. The morning session looks like the only real chance in this entire forecast to get a decent wave. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is still moderate (326), but that glassy wind is the key. It’ll be clean, even if it’s small. That’s your one shot, and it’s a short one, because by the afternoon the wind switches onshore again and it’s back to square one.
After that brief window, we’re right back into onshore winds and weak, short-period swell for the rest of the month. There’s simply no other standout. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
It’s a tough outlook, folks. The surf just isn’t on. Keep your gear waxed and check back – forecasts change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
