Alright, let me have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Nesika Beach.
Honestly, folks, it’s a tough stretch ahead. For the next week and a half, the ocean’s just not cooperating. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the NNW, and even when the swell shows a bit of size, it’s blown out. The water's running cold at 52°F – about 5°F colder than normal for this time of year, which is a proper shock to the system if you’re not rugged up.
Let’s walk through it. From Wednesday the 8th through to Thursday the 16th, it’s a write-off. Swell heights shuffle between 2ft and 5ft, but that persistent NNW wind, gusting up to 25 mph, has it chopped and messy. The wave energy’s moderate at best, with readings mostly under 900 (713), but it’s all for nothing with that wind. There’s one brief moment on Sunday morning the 19th where things look marginal – winds drop light, swell sits at 4ft from the NW, and the conditions improve slightly a bit later with a little cloud cover and a cross-on breeze that’s barely a whisper. That’s about as good as it gets all week, and even then it’s only a marginal shout.
Then, keep an eye on Monday the 20th into Tuesday the 21st. Monday afternoon sees the swell bump to 6ft from the NW with wave energy jumping up to 1273 – that’s moderate to strong energy – and light winds. Tuesday morning pushes up to 7ft from the NW with wave energy at 1616, which is solid. But the wind picks up again, making it poor. For experts only if you’re desperate, but the quality won’t be there.
If you’re a kite surfer, those afternoons with strong cross-onshore wind and decent swell will be fun. For paddle surfing, this is a lean period.
So the standout? Honestly, if you’re set on a paddle, aim for Sunday morning the 19th. It’s the closest thing to clean we’ll get, with 4ft NW swell and light winds. Stay hopeful – forecasts can shift, and the energy is there in the background. But right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.

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.
