Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it's a rough stretch ahead for Nesika Beach. We've got a long lean spell on our hands.

Forget about the next week or so. Starting Sunday the 12th right through to the evening of Thursday the 23rd, every single session is a write-off. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing anywhere from 9 mph up to a strong 25 mph, and that’s just tearing the ocean apart. The wave comment keeps saying "poor surf conditions," and it’s true. Even when the swell height bumps up to 6 ft on the afternoon of Friday the 17th, the period is a short, weak 7 seconds and the combined wave energy is strong at 858 – but with that wind, it's just a messy, lumpy closeout. Not worth paddling out.

The one tiny glimmer comes on the morning and afternoon of Saturday the 18th. The wind finally switches to a light, clean onshore from the NW at 6 mph. Swell comes from the same direction, right into the beach at 4 ft with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate to strong at 605 and 741. The forecast calls it "marginal." It’s not gonna be epic, but it’s the only half-chance in the whole window where the ocean isn't completely blown out.

That short window of clean-ish surf on Saturday the 18th is your only realistic play. Before that, it’s all onshore junk, and after that, the wind goes straight back to unfriendly. By Sunday the 26th, we get a long-period swell from the SW at 2 ft and a 20-second period – combined energy moderate at 339 – but the wind is cross-onshore again, chopping it up.

Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the best advice is to leave the board in the car and watch the horizon. The consistent onshore flow just won't give us a break.

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.
