Really the biggest issues i have top with nidalee are renekton, Yorick, and pantheon.

Yorick just denies your bush all day with his stupid ghouls. So annoying. I hog that bush soo hard with nidalee and you can't do that with Yorick

Renekton is just a strong top overall, but what pisses me off about him is his great gap closer, and his strength pre-6. His early level stun combined with his hard hits is just overwhelming. You need someone beefier imo. But please don't go bruiser nid vs renekton unless he picked first. Just pick a different champ that's more ideally a bruiser type. Again, though, if he counter-picked you, you're out of luck on that. Go bruiser.

Panth is just annoying cuz his stupid shield. Because your q in cougar form is basically just a proc on your next basic attack, he can block your q with his shiled. You need to really poke with your spears and utilize your range on him. I fyou ever want to use your q in cougar form, use a ranged human basic attack to pop the shield first. You can't just hop in there with it toggled on. Pantheon doesn't really beat me in lane, though, so much as he just gives me trouble. I wouldn't say he counters nidalee so much as he just makes you back off a bit for your range, and think before using your cougar Q.
