The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, this next stretch of days looks pretty grim. The water’s running real cold, almost 2° colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be needing the full suit. The main problem is the wind. We’ve got a lot of swell on the way, but the wind is going to be blowing the wrong way for most of it.
Tuesday and Wednesday are mostly a washout. Tuesday has a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph chopping up the 4ft of NW swell. Not worth the paddle. Wednesday afternoon shows a glimmer, with the wind dropping to a light 3 mph and going glassy. The swell drops to 3ft, but it’ll be clean. That’s about the only decent window in the near term.
Then the wind machine turns on. From Thursday right through the weekend and into next week, we’re looking at fresh to strong cross-onshore breezes, 15 to 25 mph, just tearing up the ocean. The swell will build, reaching 5ft by the end of next week, and the energy is strong, but it’s all lumpy and messy. This is looking more like a kitesurfing forecast than a surfing one. The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just weak, wind-blown junk.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th is the worst. The swell gets even bigger, hitting 6ft on Saturday, and the energy reading is a powerful 889. But the wind is still cross-onshore at 15-19 mph. It’s gonna be a big, messy, brutal closeout. That’s well over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, and with that wind, only the most experienced will even consider it.
There is a little bit of light in the second week. After the 18th, the wind looks like it might ease off a touch, and we see some longer period swell, up to 12 seconds. But the direction shifts to the WNW and the winds are still fresh and onshore. It’s going to be a long wait for a clean one.
So, my honest take? Save your energy. The forecast is a long, blown-out mess. Keep an eye on it, ‘cause forecasts change, but right now, there’s nothing that’s worth getting excited about. See you out there when it cleans up.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
