The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about Nesika Beach.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of coast is looking pretty grim for the next 16 days. We’ve got a long, dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The water is running at a chilly 51°F right now, which is a massive 6°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit if you’re even thinking about it.

The first few days, from Friday the 17th right through the weekend, are a total write-off. The swell is coming from the W or NW, but the wind is blowing a stiff 16 to 22 mph from the NNW, making it cross-on and lumpy. The wave energy is moderate (combined energy of all swells directed here is around 673 to 760), but with the wind tearing it up, it’s just poor conditions. The waves are small too – 3 ft to 6 ft – but with that short period (7-8 seconds) on the weekend, it’s just messy.

The middle of the week, from Monday the 20th to Thursday the 23rd, doesn’t get much better. The swell drops right off – 2 ft to 3 ft – with a moderate energy (151 to 466). The wind goes light or variable, and there’s a moment of glass on Wednesday morning, but the waves are so small and weak it’s only marginal. Not worth getting excited about.

Now, the one standout in the whole outlook is Friday the 24th in the afternoon. That’s the pick of the bunch. The swell is from the SW, 2 ft, but the period jumps to a very long 24 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 567, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW at 9 mph, keeping things clean. At Nesika Beach (Oregon), the optimum swell direction is NW, so this SW swell is a bit off-angle, but with that long period and clean conditions, you’ll get some fun, lined-up waves. Just know that with a very long period like this, the waves might break a bit too straight at the beach, so it’s better for a reef or point, but it’s still the best we’ve got.

After that, the weekend of the 26th and 27th goes back to poor surf with strong NNW winds and lumpy conditions. The swell picks up a bit to 3-4 ft from the SW, but the wind just ruins it. The final days into August are the same story – cross-on winds and short-period NW swell (8 seconds), making it a mess.

To be honest, there’s only one session that’s worth a look: Friday the 24th afternoon. Everything else is a bust. The break is fairly consistent here, but with the wind and swell directions not lining up, it’s a tough run. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d save your energy.

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.
