The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Nesika Beach. The next couple of weeks are a tough one. We've got a couple of little windows of clean, small waves early on, but the rest of the forecast is a hard pass thanks to relentless, strong onshore wind.
The first surf worth paddling for is on Friday, July 24th. The afternoon session is the best of the whole period. It's small, with a 2ft swell from the southwest. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, which makes it clean. The combined wave energy is moderate (770), so there's a bit of life. It's a small wave, but for a Friday afternoon with no wind, it's the best you'll get.
Saturday, July 25th is the only other real standout. The morning is a bit breezier with 12 mph cross-offshore wind, but the swell bumps up to 3ft from the southwest. The energy is still moderate (827). The afternoon cleans up nicely with the wind dropping back to 6 mph, making for clean, rideable conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises.
Now for the bad news. From Sunday, July 26th onwards, the wind swings onshore from the northwest and never lets up. The swell hangs around at 3ft to 4ft for a few days, but it's all blown out. Those are just paddle-practice days.
Then from Wednesday, July 29th all the way through to Saturday, August 8th, it's a full-on wind event. The wind cranks from the NNW at 15 to 25 mph, all cross-on or onshore. The swell gets bigger – up to 6ft from the NW – but with wind like that, it's just a messy, lumpy, choppy mess. The energy climbs (855) but it's all for the kitesurfers. This is a solid 10-day stretch of rubbish. The period gets short, down to 6 or 7 seconds, which is just bumpy windswell.
If you're a beginner, the small stuff on Friday and Saturday is the only option, and it's tiny. The bigger stuff later is for experts only, but the wind ruins it. It's a bleak run, but that's the coast for you sometimes. The forecast can change, but right now, stick to that first weekend.
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.
