The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for us.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of days are a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday are looking pretty grim with small, weak swell and strong winds making a mess of things. We’re talking combined energy readings down in the 200 to 300 range, which is barely a pulse. Hold your horses.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Thursday, September 3rd. The morning sees a bump in swell to 6ft from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is a moderate breeze from the south, but it's cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The combined energy jumps up to 1028, a solid moderate reading. The afternoon pushes that swell up to 7ft from the WNW, with a 12-second period, and the energy surges to 1603. This is definitely the standout window of the first week. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.
Now, Friday the 4th morning is also worth a mention. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the west, with a 10-second period, but the wind goes light and offshore from the SSW, so the surface will be clean. The energy is still a solid 825. This is a good, classic autumn day, not too big, not too small. For more experienced surfers, the Thursday afternoon window with that 7ft swell is the pick – it’s got some grunt to it.
The weekend slips back into a funk. From Saturday the 5th through to the end of the forecast, conditions turn poor. The wind swings around to the north and northwest, blowing cross-onshore and onshore, and the swell drops away to under 3ft with short, weak periods. The combined energy falls to three-digit numbers, mostly under 500. A few mornings on the 6th and 7th have glassy or light winds, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. You’ll be sitting out there waiting for a bump.
So, to wrap it up: the best bet is Thursday, September 3rd, with the afternoon having the biggest, most energetic swell. Friday morning is a solid second option for cleaner conditions on a slightly smaller wave. After that, it’s a long stretch of poor surf that lasts from the 5th right through to the 16th. Keep your eyes on the charts, because a blank run like this tends not to last forever.
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.
