The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk surf for Nesika Beach. We've got a mixed bag across this 16-day run, so let's get into it.

We start off pretty grim. Thursday afternoon the 10th through Friday the 11th is a write-off – onshore winds have everything messy and weak. The combined energy is up there (495 on Thursday, jumping to 893 Friday afternoon), but it's all wind-affected junk. Not worth paddling out.

The first real glimmer comes Saturday morning, the 12th. A cross-offshore wind from the SSW makes for clean conditions, with a 3-foot SW swell at 14 seconds. Combined energy sits at 535 (moderate). It's small, but it's rideable and clean. That afternoon sees rain and a slight dip, but still a decent option if you're keen.

Sunday the 13th gets blown out again. A NW wind comes straight onshore, pushing a messy 4 to 5-foot NW swell with a short 9-second period. No good.

Then we hit a long dry spell. From Monday the 14th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, it's mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind, with waves under 4 feet and short periods. The energy fluctuates, but the quality is consistently poor. There's a brief moment on the evening of Thursday the 17th where a 1-foot, 21-second groundswell from the SW appears with light cross-shore winds – but it's tiny and marginal. Friday the 18th afternoon and Saturday the 19th look clean with cross-offshore winds and a building 2 to 2-foot SW swell (period 19-18 seconds), but again, very small. The energy is in the 300-450 range, but it's not enough to get excited about.

The standout of the whole forecast comes next week. On Thursday the 24th, we get a beautiful afternoon. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – with a 4-foot NW groundswell at 9 seconds. Combined energy is 426 (moderate). This will be clean, easy to paddle out, and friendly for all levels. That's the best the window has to offer.

The morning of Friday the 25th is also worth a mention – a tiny 1-foot SW swell coming from way out at 23 seconds under light cross-shore winds – but it's a whisper. The afternoon of the 25th goes glassy again with a 2-foot WNW swell at 15 seconds, but again, not much size.

Overall, if you want the cleanest, most user-friendly surf, your window is Thursday afternoon the 24th. It's about as good as it gets here this fortnight. For the rest, patience and a small board will serve you best.

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.
