The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Nesika Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first week is a bit of a write-off. The early days are plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, with swell that’s small and messy. The energy is all over the place, with combined swell energy readings of 291 to 571, but it’s just not coming together. You’ll be looking at blown-out, choppy conditions. It’s a tough start.
Things start to show a glimmer of life around Tuesday, September 1st. The wind swings light and cross-shore, with a WNW swell of 3 ft, but the period is short (10 seconds) and the energy is still moderate at 340. It’s marginal, not something to get excited about.
The real standout, and the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday, September 3rd. This is the best on offer. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore wind, with a WNW swell pushing 6 ft. The period stretches to a solid 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 854. This is proper groundswell potential. The waves will have shape and power, and the wind will keep them glassy. This is an intermediate to expert day, as that 6 ft (over 5 ft) is a bit much for beginners. The crowd situation at Nesika Beach is listed as "often," so expect a few others with the same idea.
After that, conditions stay on and off. There’s a brief, glassy window on Sunday, September 6th, with a very clean 2 ft swell from the SW (energy 235), but it’s small. Another glassy chance pops up on Tuesday, September 8th, with a tiny 1 ft, long-period SW swell (18 seconds, energy 328) – that’s a long-period groundswell, which will be slow and fat, but clean. Great for a longboard if you’re patient.
The second week looks more promising but less certain. A few days around September 8th and 9th offer glassy or light wind conditions with SW swells, but the size is small (2 ft to 3 ft). The best bet in the second week is Wednesday, September 9th afternoon, with a glassy 2 ft, long-period 18-second SW swell. The energy is moderate at 411. It’ll be clean, but small.
Overall, don’t bother with the first few days. Save your energy for the 3rd of September, and keep an eye on the glassy windows in the second week for a sneaky session on a small board.
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.
