Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nesika Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. The only spot in the game is Nesika Beach, and it’s a proper grind. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore wind and weak, messy swell, so don’t get your hopes up for anything clean for a while.
The water at Nesika Beach is sitting at 52°F – that’s 4°F colder than average for this time of year, so it’s much colder than normal. You’ll want a thick suit.
The first real glimpse of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Sunday the 19th of July, and even then it’s a marginal call. That morning, we’ve got a 5ft NW swell with a short period of 8 seconds, but the wind is offshore and light from the NW at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (524). It’s not great, but it’s the only window where the conditions might just let you get a few. The afternoon drops back to poor.
Monday the 20th of July morning is also marginal, with a 5ft NW swell, same short 8-second period, but the wind swings cross-on from the N at 9 mph, making it a bit choppy. Energy is moderate (569). Still not a standout, but if you’re desperate, that’s your other look.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The swell is too small or too weak, the period is short, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon of Sunday the 18th of July might be interesting – 6ft NW swell, 8-second period, and a light offshore wind from the NW at 9 mph. That’s more energy (948) and a clean enough setup for a kite, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
For the rest of the run, it’s a lot of fresh breeze and lumpy, cross-onshore junk. The swell direction stays mostly NW or WNW, never matching the optimum NW direction for the break, and the period stays short. It’s a bleak outlook, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.
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.
