The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Nesika Beach are mostly a write-off, but there’s a little glimmer of hope if you’re willing to wait.
The pattern starts rough and stays that way for a long stretch. From Saturday, August 8th, right through to the morning of Sunday, August 16th, the wind is just relentless. It’s a constant cross-onshore breeze, 15 to 25 mph, and the swell is either tiny or short-period, messy junk. The water is sitting at 53°F, which is a whopping 5°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll need a thick hood and boots just to survive the paddle out. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate – mostly under 300 – and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” Not a single session worth paddling out for.
Then, on Sunday morning, August 16th, things finally shift. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph, and we get a clean 3 ft groundswell from the SW with a super long 16-second period. The combined energy jumps to 475 (moderate), and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the first real window in over a week, but it’s small. The afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up slightly, making it marginal.
Monday, August 17th, is still on the small side, but by Tuesday, August 18th, we get the standout. The morning has 4 ft from the WNW with a 14-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and combined energy of 774 (strong). The afternoon is even better: 5 ft from the W, 13-second period, still light cross-offshore, and the energy rockets to 1219 (very strong). The wave comment is “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s your best bet. The swell direction is a touch west of the optimum NW, but the consistency and quality make up for it. Nesika Beach is a fairly consistent spot, and it’s often crowded, so expect company.
Wednesday, August 19th, holds similar size but the energy drops, and then it’s back to poor conditions from Thursday onward. That Tuesday afternoon window is the one to circle.
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.
