The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Nesika Beach. Over the next 16 days, it’s mostly a bust, but there are a couple of moments where it’s worth wetting a line.
Your best bet is Wednesday afternoon on August 26th. The wind is glassy – dead calm – which hardly ever happens here. Swell is 2ft from the southwest with a 16-second period, so it’s a long period groundswell that’ll have some shape. Combined energy is moderate (259). The water is running about 4°F colder than usual for this time of year (around 54°F), so you’ll want a thicker suit. Crowds are likely though. It’s small but clean, and that’s the pick of the week.
Also decent is Saturday morning, August 22nd. You’ve got a cross-off breeze, 2-2ft swell from the southwest at 13 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (174). It’s clean enough for a longboard session, nothing special but not a total waste.
After that, from Sunday August 23rd all the way through the end of the month, it’s a mess. Strong cross-onshore winds (up to 18 mph), choppy and lumpy. The swell tries to get going with moderate to strong energy (366 to 545), but the wind just kills it. Skip these days.
Early September is no better. Tuesday September 1st has a legit 7ft swell from the northwest (11-second period, very strong energy at 1552) but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy – that’s strictly for experts or kite gear. Most of that week is 3-6ft and cross-onshore, poor quality.
Finally, Saturday September 5th morning looks promising. Cross-off wind at 9 mph, 3ft swell from the southwest, 16-second period. Combined energy is strong (529) and the forecast says “very good surf conditions.” That’s your other standout, but it’s way out there so keep hopes tempered.
So, hit Wednesday August 26th afternoon for the glassy clean up, and watch for that September 5th morning. Everything else is windblown or onshore trash.

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.
