The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Nesika Beach for the next couple of weeks.

I’ll be honest, it’s a lean run. There’s a real shortage of good surf on the cards. The first chance you’ve got to get wet is not until Sunday morning, September 13th. Before that, it’s a flat, quiet stretch.

Sunday, September 13th – Morning Session: The One to Chase

This is your best bet, and the only real standout. Waves are coming in at 4ft from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 542. The big win here is the wind – a light 6 mph breeze from the SSW, blowing cross-offshore. That means clean, glassy faces. Water temp is 56°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a good wetsuit is a must.

Crowds are often an issue, so an early paddle will give you the best chance at some empty waves. For a Sunday morning with clean 4ft surf, it’s going to be popular.

The afternoon? Wind swings north-northwest and goes onshore. Turns it into junk.

Monday, September 14th through Sunday, September 20th

This is a tough stretch. The wind is stuck from the north-northwest at 12 to 19 mph, blowing cross-onshore. Swell drops to 2ft to 4ft. There are some longer period pulses (13 to 20 seconds), but the wind chop and lumpy surface ruin any quality. For a beach break, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. I’d give it a miss.

Monday, September 21st through Saturday, September 26th

More of the same. The wind stays strong from the north, hitting 22 mph at times. Swell builds towards the end of the week – we see 5ft to 6ft on Wednesday the 23rd with a 13-second period from the WNW, and combined energy jumps to 929 and then 1141 (strong to very strong). But the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be blown-out and choppy. Experienced surfers might find some power in the water, but it won’t be pretty.

Sunday, September 27th – Afternoon Session: A Glimmer

There’s another small window on the afternoon of the 27th. The wind swings to the south at 6 mph, which is cross-offshore, and the swell is tiny – only 2ft from the SW with a 16-second period. Combined energy is weak at 229. It’s a long-period groundswell, which can offer clean lines, but for a beach break it might break a bit straight. Still, with clean conditions and light wind, it’s the second-best option on the whole board. Marginal, but better than nothing.

Monday, September 28th

The forecast ends with rain and cross-onshore winds. 3ft to 4ft from the WNW, but messy and onshore. Not worth it.

Overall Verdict

If you want one good session, Sunday morning, September 13th is the call. After that, there’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 14th through to the 26th, with just a marginal chance on the afternoon of the 27th. Keep an eye on it – things can change, and it never stays bad forever.

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.
