The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Nesika Beach.
Right off the bat, the water's a chilly 52 °F, which is a solid 5 °F colder than usual for this time of year. That's a notable drop, so you'll want a good thick wetsuit if you're heading in. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, with a gap in quality surf. The first few days of the forecast period are a bit of a write-off, with the first real glimmer of hope showing up on the afternoon of Thursday, July 24th.
That Thursday afternoon session is the standout. The wind will be a light, cross-offshore breeze at 9 mi/h, keeping things clean. Swell is coming from the southwest at 2 ft with a seriously long period of 24 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a solid 775 (moderate). This is going to produce some well-shaped, powerful lines, especially at a break like this. The long period means longer lulls between sets, so paddling out won't be a battle. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Friday morning, July 25th, is a bit smaller and more crossed up, but the afternoon is worth a mention. The swell is up to 3 ft from the southwest, with a 21-second period and a combined energy of 855 (moderate). The wind is light, but it's a cross-shore breeze, so expect a few ripples on the face. Not quite as clean as the day before, but still a fun option.
The following week, from July 28th onwards, things go downhill fast. Onshore winds from the north-northwest crank up, hitting 18 to 25 mi/h by the afternoon, making for a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. The swell is still there, but the quality is gone. This is more of a windsurfing or kiting setup than a good paddle surf. The conditions stay poor right through to the end of the forecast period on August 5th, with strong winds and messy surf. The final days show a bit of a bump in swell size, hitting 5 ft on the afternoon of August 5th, but it's a short-period, onshore windswell, so it's going to be a sloppy, blown-out affair.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is the afternoon of Thursday, July 24th, for the cleanest, most powerful lines. Friday afternoon is a secondary option if you're itching for a session. After that, the wind takes over, and it's best to find something else to do.
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.
Nesika Beach is 90 km (56 miles) from Grants Pass. If you plan a vacation in South Oregon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Grants Pass. Grants Pass has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
