Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Nesika Beach is offering up over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch of surf ahead.
Right from the start, the water is sitting at a chilly 52°F with an anomaly of -5°F, so it’s much colder than normal for the time of year – you’ll want a good thick wetsuit.
The problem isn’t just the cold. Through the first several days, the wind is hammering from the NW, blowing straight onshore. Sure, there’s some long-period SW swell rolling in, hitting 3ft with a period of 15 seconds and a combined wave energy of (532) in the moderate range, but when it’s blown out like that, you’re just getting chopped-up, messy waves. That’s the story from Friday the 10th all the way through Monday the 13th of July – the surf quality is just poor.
We get a bit of a lull in size on Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th with the swell dropping to 1ft and 2ft, but the wind stays nasty, swinging cross-onshore. It’s not worth paddling out. The swell bumps up a little mid-week, hitting 5ft on the Wednesday afternoon, but with a short period of 7 seconds and that 35 km/h cross-onshore wind, it’s lumpy and ugly. This setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The pattern doesn’t let up. As we head into the second week, from around the 18th of July onward, it’s the same story: messy onshore winds, and any decent-sized swell (like the 5ft on the 25th) is ruined by a fresh breeze. There is a brief moment on Friday the 17th where the swell is 5ft to 5ft from the NW with a moderate onshore breeze, but the energy jumps up to a strong (762), yet the quality remains poor. The whole 16-day window is basically one long gap with no real standout sessions.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where you’re better off changing the fins on your kiteboard or waiting for the forecast to change. It’s a blank run for Nesika Beach.
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.
