The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a stretch of small, largely messy swell, but there are a couple of windows where things clean up nicely.

First up, the overall pattern: we’re looking at a long period of onshore, cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions that’ll keep the surf pretty poor through the end of August and into the start of September. The combined swell energy is moderate (339) on Saturday morning, but those strong NNW winds will ruin it. No point getting excited.

The first real chance to get a wave comes on Monday, the 31st of August. The morning is still a bit cross and marginal, but the afternoon turns glassy with a light west wind and a combined energy of 301. The swell is small at 3 ft from the SW, but it’s glassy, so you can get a longboard out for a fun, easy session. The water is at 58°, which is spot on for this time of year.

Tuesday, the 1st of September, is also a good call. Morning sees a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a clean cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is 345. The afternoon drops a bit in size to 2 ft from the SW but stays clean. Nothing epic, but it’s rideable.

Now, the standout. Thursday, the 3rd of September, is your best bet. The morning has a clean 4 ft swell from the WNW with a cross-offshore wind and a combined energy of 550, which is a solid moderate pulse. It’s in the good range for an intermediate surfer. Then the afternoon turns glassy with a 2 ft, 19-second groundswell from the SW. That long period will give you some real push and shape, especially for a reef or point break. The combined energy jumps to 730, which is strong. This is the best on offer, hands down.

After that, the surf stays marginal. There’s a gap of poor conditions from the 4th through the 9th of September, with onshore winds and cross-on chop. A few moments on the 5th and 10th might be clean, but the swell is tiny and inconsistent.

Into the second week, the 11th and 12th of September show a bump in swell (4 ft from the WNW) but it’s all cross-onshore and choppy, so not worth it. The 13th is the same story. This region just isn’t lining up for a long run of good waves.

So, to sum it up: the best surf is on Thursday, the 3rd of September, with a standout morning session at Nesika Beach. The afternoon glass-off with that long-period groundswell is a real treat for the patient surfer.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
