The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what Nesika Beach has in store for us over the next two weeks.
I'm going to level with you – this is a rough one. The first few days are a total washout. Monday and Tuesday are seeing a small, 3-foot, long-period SW groundswell, but with a solid NW wind blowing straight onshore, it's messy and blown out. The water is at 55°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a couple of poor days on Wednesday and Thursday, still with onshore winds and a weak, short-period swell from the NW. The combined energy slides from 842 down to 449, so it's really weak. Come Friday, the wind picks up to a moderate breeze from the NNW, and the swell is a mix of weak SW and NW, with the period dropping right off on Friday afternoon to just 8 seconds and a combined energy of 125. That's not surf, that's just wind chop.
The whole first week is a write-off. The wind stays onshore, gusty, and messy. Then on Sunday the 2nd of August, we get a bit more size, but it's a cross-onshore mess with a 6ft NW swell and a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 411, but the wind is a strong breeze from the north. It's blown out, lumpy, and honestly, with that onshore wind and beach break setup, this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The days roll on and it's the same story. Strong cross-onshore winds, lumpy surf, and a period that rarely gets out of the 8-second range. The swell height does bump up, with a 6ft NW swell on the morning of the 11th of August, and the combined energy hits 947 (moderate wave energy), but it's still a strong cross-onshore breeze. The quality just isn't there.
I can't pick a stand-out day here. Not one session in the whole 16-day window gets a recommendation. It's a bleak run, but it's not unusual for this spot. The wind is stubborn, the swell is mixed up, and the conditions are just not surfable. We'll keep an eye on it, but for now, I'd be looking for a project on land or praying for a change in the forecast.
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.
