The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles.
Looking over the next sixteen days at Nesika Beach, it’s a slow burner. We get some tiny, clean waves Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, but they’re barely worth talking about. The water temp is about 57°, right on average for the season.
The real highlight isn’t until Monday the 8th of September. That afternoon you’ve got a glassy 5ft NW swell with a 9-second period. Clean. Then Tuesday the 9th of September is the crown jewel. Morning shows 6ft to 6ft NW swell, glassy and clean from the SSW wind. The combined swell energy jumps up (869 and 1323), showing real power. That’s the session for the experienced surfers.
The nine days before that are mostly a write-off. From Friday the 28th of August through the 7th of September, strong onshore NNW winds blow out the small, weak swell. Not much to see.
Wednesday the 10th of September still has some swell, around 5ft to 7ft, but onshore winds mess it up.
Only one real window to get excited about, and it’s the 8th and 9th. Wait for it.
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.
