The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this next stretch is a tough one for surfers. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent waves. There’s not a single recommendation that’s worth paddling out for, so don’t bother checking the charts too closely.

The whole period is plagued by a persistent onshore or cross-onshore wind from the NNW, constantly ruining what little swell there is. The only break on the books, Nesika Beach, is exposed to the NW, but the swell coming from the W and SW is just not working with the wind and the beach setup. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you’re just having a look.

Looking at the first few days, from July 16th, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with wind straight on it. A tiny 2ft to 3ft swell from the W, but with a long period of 17 to 19 seconds, it’s generating some moderate wave energy, but it’s useless when it’s blown out. The wind is blowing 15 to 30 km/h straight onshore – it’s a mess.

We get a slight bump on the 19th of July, with a 6ft swell from the NW on Sunday afternoon, but the period drops to 8 seconds, which is short period windswell, and the wind is still 25 km/h onshore. That’s too big for beginners and too ugly for anyone else. For the rest of the month, the wind stays strong, often hitting 30 to 40 km/h, with a cross-onshore direction that’s just making it lumpy and choppy. There’s a moment on the afternoon of the 24th of July where the swell period jumps to 26 seconds and the combined energy is high, but it’s a tiny 2ft and the wind is still on it. That’s a marginal call at best, and it’s not worth the drive.

The second week turns completely into a kite-surfing show. The wind is up to 40 km/h, cross-onshore, and the swell is small and weak. If you’re looking to paddle, you’re out of luck. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when the wind settles in like this, but forecasts can always change, so don’t give up hope entirely.

Rusty.

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.
