The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next stretch.

So for the first week or so, it’s a pretty frustrating picture. The only break we’ve got in the mix is Nesika Beach, and honestly, it's a tough one to get excited about for a while. The swell is consistently from the SW, with some decent periods—a solid groundswell in there—but the wind is just not playing ball. That combined wave energy is mostly in the moderate bracket (values like 707, 790, 535) but the onshore and cross-onshore winds are going to mess things up.

Water temp is sitting at about 56°, which feels a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good spring suit.

The first real glimmer shows up Saturday morning the 12th. There’s a little SW swell, 3ft with a 14-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s going to be clean, and the wave energy is moderate (535). It’s small, but it’s your best bet early on. Expect some crowds here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

Sunday morning the 13th is similar, with 3ft of SW swell and light cross-off winds, giving you clean little lines. After that, the wind turns ugly again, and we hit a run of poor conditions with that northerly wind. The swell sticks around, but it’s chopped up and lumpy.

Now, if you’re patient, there’s a true standout on the horizon. Thursday the 17th afternoon, the wind swings to a light cross-off breeze, and the swell is tiny at 1ft, but look at the period: 21 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell. It’s clean, but so small it’s really only for the most dedicated on a longboard. It will be breaking straight at a beach setup.

Then we have a promising looking window on Sunday the 20th afternoon. Small 2ft SW swell, but with a cross-off breeze again and 18-second period. Clean and workable.

After that, the wind problems return, but the swell starts to build. By Wednesday the 23rd afternoon, we’ve got 5ft of WNW swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is onshore. Not great. The combined energy gets strong (1027).

The big change comes Thursday the 24th. A solid 7ft WNW groundswell arrives, with a 12-second period. The wave energy is very strong (1491-1618). But again, the fresh cross-onshore wind is blowing straight into it, making it lumpy. That’s expert territory size-wise, but with the wind chop, it’s a messy, powerful beast. Not ideal for a paddle session; honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing.

Saturday the 26th afternoon still has a strong 6ft swell (energy up at 2211 – very strong!), but just more of the same onshore story. Too big and too windy for a good clean surf.

So, the honest take: the Saturday 12th morning is the pick of the first week, and if you can wait, the Sunday 20th afternoon offers a clean little window. The big groundswell around the 24th has the size but needs calm wind to be special, which it doesn’t have.

Rusty out.

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.
