The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Straight up, for the next week and a half, it’s pretty grim. From Wednesday the 19th of August right through to Monday the 31st of August, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, waves are tiny, and the energy is just flat. You’re looking at a solid 12-day stretch of poor surf conditions, with only a few marginal moments around Friday the 21st and Monday the 24th, but even then we’re talking about knee-high leftovers with weak energy. Honestly, not worth wetting the suit.
The only real standout comes right at the end of the forecast window. On Tuesday the 1st of September, things finally look like they might turn. Nesika Beach wakes up with a clean 3ft to 4ft swell from the WNW and NW, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, which is a huge plus—clean lines, no chop. The combined swell energy sits at moderate levels. It’s not huge, but for a spot that’s been dead for weeks, this is the best on offer. Crowds are likely here, so get in early. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Into Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September, it drops off again. Swell stays small, periods get short, and the wind swings back to a moderate breeze, though still cross-off. It’s marginal at best. If you’ve got a log and low expectations, maybe, but the real action is that Tuesday window.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother until Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s your shot. The rest is a write-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.
