The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the charts for Nesika Beach, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough read. The first few days have a little something, but it’s gonna be a long, dry spell after that.

We start off on Thursday the 23rd with a small, weak swell. We’re talking about 2ft of swell from the SW with a 14-second period, giving us a combined energy reading of 249 - that’s moderate energy, but it’s not doing much. The wind is light and cross, making for a bit of a bumpy surface. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.

Then things get interesting on Friday afternoon the 24th. That’s the one standout in this whole 16-day window. The swell jumps up from the SW at 2ft, but the period stretches out to a massive 24 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell. The energy reading hits 764, which is strong. More importantly, the wind goes light and cross-offshore, which will clean the waves right up. That’s the kind of combo that gets a man excited. The break is fairly consistent, but it’s an exposed beach, so that long period might make it a bit straight. Still, for a Friday afternoon session, this is your best bet.

Saturday the 25th still has some decent energy (827 on the morning), with a 3ft SW swell and a 21-second period. The morning starts clear with a cross-offshore breeze, looking clean. The afternoon gets a bit more cross, but it’s still rideable.

After that, it’s a slow slide into the gutter. From Sunday the 26th through the end of the month, the wind turns onshore from the NW, and the swell quality drops off a cliff. The scores go to zero. By the 28th we’re into poor surf conditions, and that’s where it stays.

The first week of August is a write-off. From the 1st to the 7th, it’s nothing but strong onshore winds, lumpy, messy conditions, and very short-period windswell. The swell height gets up to 5ft from the NNW, but with a period of only 7-8 seconds and howling winds, it’s a complete mess. That kind of setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.

So, to wrap it up: you’ve got a small window of OK surf on the 24th and 25th, then a long, empty gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for. It’s a tough spell for Nesika Beach, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

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.
