The Lowdown
Rusty here again, this time in feet and knots for you.
Alright, Nesika Beach—honestly, there’s not much to write home about. The first real chance of any surf isn’t until Monday the 17th, and before that it’s all choppy, cross-on, onshore junk. Not worth the effort.
Water temp is running 53°F, which is way colder than normal for August—3°F below the average, so that’s nasty cold. You’ll need a thick suit.
The one little highlight is Monday the 17th afternoon. Swell is only 3ft from the southwest, period of 14 seconds—that’s a proper groundswell, real long gap between sets. Combined energy sits at 296, which is moderate. The wind goes glassy: dead calm. That means clean little peelers, though it’s a southwest swell on a northwest-facing beach, so expect it to be a bit funny. Still, for a small-wave board or a longboard, that afternoon is your only shot. The morning of the 17th is also rideable with a light cross-shore, just not as clean.
The rest? Don’t bother. Mostly northwest winds blowing onshore, tiny swell with short periods. The biggest swell hits 1.5m (5ft) on the 24th from the northwest, but the wind is still on it, period only 8 seconds, so it’s just a messy, choppy mess.
Beginners won’t get hurt by the size because nothing tops 5ft, but the conditions are just plain bad. Keep an eye on Monday the 17th afternoon—that’s the best, and maybe only, window in this whole sixteen-day stretch.
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.
