The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Nesika Beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start and we’re gonna have to be patient.
The first few days are a write-off. From now through to around mid-morning on Thursday the 12th of September, it’s all poor surf. The wind is a mess, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is either tiny or junk. You won’t miss anything.
Things finally turn around on the afternoon of Thursday the 12th. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the SSW at 6 mph, and the waves clean right up. We’ve got a waist-high swell from the SW with a very long period of 14 seconds, making for some proper groundswell lines. The combined energy here is moderate. It’s a light, clean session, but it’s only small, and there are rain showers around. It’s a decent window for those who are keen on a mellow paddle.
We get another little window on the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. The wind is light cross-offshore again from the SSW at 6 mph, so the surface is clean. The swell is a bit smaller, about 2 ft from the SW, but with that same long 16-second period. The energy is weak. It’s a small, clean morning for a longboard.
The best of the whole outlook falls on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September. This is the stand-out. We’ve got a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph, making for nicely groomed faces. The swell is around 3 ft from the SW with a solid 16-second period, so it’s punchy for its size. The combined energy is strong. This is the one to circle on the calendar – early morning, light offshore, and a proper groundswell pushing through. It’s surfable and very clean. Earlier in the morning on Monday the 21st also looks clean and similar, but Tuesday is the call.
Look, for the rest of the time, we’re mostly looking at cross-shore winds, onshores, or just plain poor conditions. There’s a few other slots where the wind is clean, but the swell is too weak to really get excited about.
So, in a nutshell: don’t bother until the afternoon of Thursday the 12th. The best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September. That’s your winner. For the rest, keep the board in the car, but be ready to pull the trigger on that Tuesday morning session.
Stay salty,
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.
