The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with a look at Papaya (Nahriya). I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s a grim run. For the full 16 days from July 25th all the way to August 9th, every single session comes up with a zero for surf quality. There is no standout day. The whole period is one big flat, choppy mess.
The water’s warm, about 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s not your problem. The problem is there’s just no real swell. The combined swell energy starts at 266 on the 25th, which is moderate, but that’s paired with a short 8-second period and a cross-on breeze, making it 5-foot of ugly, choppy junk. By the 26th it drops to 64 energy, and from there it just fades into single digits. Most days you’re looking at 1 to 2-foot waves with periods of 5 to 8 seconds – weak, short, and messy.
The wind is always cross-on or onshore. The swell direction is stuck WNW or NW, never hitting the ideal W direction for this break. Even the calmest wind days can’t create a wave out of nothing. There’s nothing here for kite surfing either – the wind’s not up to it and the wave energy is just too low.
This kind of blank run is more normal for the area when it goes flat. It’s a dead period. Forecasts can always change, but right now you’re better off finding something else to do for the next couple of weeks. No waves on offer.
Rusty.

Information about the Papaya (Nahriya) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Papaya (Nahriya) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Papaya (Nahriya) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Papaya (Nahriya) 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.

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 Papaya (Nahriya) 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.
