The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming down the pipe for Nesika Beach. I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch of the forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap with no real surf to get excited about right through the end of July and well into the first week of August, about 10 days of very little to nothing worth paddling out for.
The kick-off on Sunday, 26 July gives us a glimpse of a 3 ft swell from the SW, with a very long 19-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, but the energy is still weak (811). The wind is light from the WNW, which is onshore, and the water temp is sitting at 55°, about 2° cooler than normal for this time of year – it’s a bit nippy. The whole setup is rated as marginal, so it’s really not a goer.
From Monday the 27th through to the 9th of August, it’s a grim picture. We see a slow decline in swell height, with winds turning from moderate breezes into fresh and strong breezes out of the NNW and N, all cross-onshore. The swell is tiny, the period drops, and the wave energy is weak (mostly in the 200–400 range). The comments say it all: “poor surf conditions” session after session. From 2 August onward, the wind really howls, with gusts up to 25 mph, and the swell picks up a little size but with a short, choppy period of 7-8 seconds and cross-onshore winds. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
The first glimmer of hope comes around 10 August. That Monday morning we see a 6 ft swell from the NW, with an 8-second period, and the wind goes light and onshore from the NW. The combined energy reaches 617 – moderate. It’s still described as “marginal,” but it’s the best we’ve seen in a long time. The afternoon bumps up to 6 ft with light winds, and the energy climbs to 756. It’s not perfect, but after the drought, it’s the standout window. This is a beach break, and with that short period, it’ll be a bit crumbly, but at least it’s clean. If you’ve been waiting for a session, that Monday the 10th is your best bet in the whole 16-day window.
So, hang tight, Nesika. The long wait might finally pay off around the second Monday of August.
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.
