The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Nesika Beach area over the next couple of weeks.
It's a pretty grim run, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There's not a single day where the conditions come together to offer anything good. The swell is there, but it's constantly getting hammered by strong, cross-onshore winds, leaving the ocean a lumpy, choppy mess. You'll be fighting a losing battle trying to find a clean face.
Looking at the first few days, starting Sunday the 2nd, we've got a 6ft NW swell with an 8-second period, but it's under a strong north breeze. The water temp is a bit colder than normal at 55°, and the combined wave energy sits at a moderate 564. It's a consistent theme of "poor surf conditions" all the way through.
The wind doesn't let up. Through the first week, it's relentless from the north and north-northwest, and it's not until the following Wednesday, the 12th, that we see a shift to just "on" shore winds. Even then, the swell is still middling at 5ft to 5ft from the NW, and the conditions are still lumpy. The combined energy climbs, hitting 602 on the 13th, but it's all for nothing with the wind.
Now, there is a little glimmer of something interesting right at the end. On Sunday the 16th of August, the morning shows a 4ft swell from the west with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is a strong 1221. The wind is a moderate breeze from the NNW, coming straight onshore. It's still only rated as marginal, but that long period groundswell has potential if the wind were to cooperate. It's a long way out, so don't bank on it. The pattern is just too consistent with poor conditions.
I hate to say it, but there's just nothing to get excited about here. A blank run like this is a real bummer, but it happens. The only upside is that the breaks are consistent, so it won't stay this way forever. Keep your eye on the forecast, because a change in the wind is all it would take.
Stay patient,
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.
