The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down for Nesika Beach. The water’s cold – 12° is about 2° colder than usual, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit. The next 16 days have a lot of flat, choppy junk, but there are a couple of moments that might save the trip.

First up, Friday afternoon, September 4th. There’s a 5ft swell from the WNW, 10-second period, with a combined energy of 882 – that’s a solid pulse. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph, keepin’ it clean. The report says it’s marginal, but if you’re out there, it’s the best of the early stuff.

Then it goes dead. From Saturday the 5th through Tuesday the 8th, the swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, weak and short-period, with onshore winds. The energy is in the low hundreds – nothin’ doin’. Wednesday the 9th sees a tiny long-period groundswell (0.4m to 0.5m, or 1ft to 2ft) with light cross-off winds, but it’s just “surfable but ordinary.” Skip it.

Now, the standout. On Thursday, September 10th, in the afternoon, the wind goes glassy calm from the SE, and we’ve got a 2ft swell from the SW with a 17-second period and 502 energy. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s your window. It’s small, but clean – a long-period groundswell that’ll work best on a point or reef. At Nesika, it might be a bit straight, but for a short session, it’s the best you’ll get.

After that, it’s a long, ugly stretch. From Friday the 11th through Sunday the 20th, the surf is mostly poor. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore, choppin’ up anything from 1ft to 4ft. The energy is weak to moderate, with the 18th of September showin’ a 4ft WNW swell with 11-second period and 671 energy, but it’s blowin’ cross-onshore. The only other decent moment is the morning of Saturday, September 19th – glassy wind, 2ft swell from the SW with a 19-second period and 536 energy. The report says “expect very good surf conditions” for that morning. It’s tiny, but it’s clean.

Overall, the 16-day window is rough. The consistent onshore winds and small swell mean most days are better for kite surfers than paddle surfers. The best bets are the afternoon of the 10th and the morning of the 19th. Circle the 10th – that glass-off is your golden hour.

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.
