The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch looks pretty grim for a proper surf. The whole 16-day window is a write-off with no decent options on the table. I’ve scanned the data and there’s just nothing to get excited about.
We kick off on Friday, August 7th, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SW, but it’s ruined by a 12 mph onshore wind. The day after, we get a bit more size but the wind stays cranky, and it’s a lumpy mess. This pattern just keeps going. Day after day we’re looking at onshore and cross-onshore winds, with the swell bouncing around from NW and SW but never lining up right. The wind is just too strong, often 19 mph or more, and it’s blowing straight onto the beach or tearing across it. The combined energy figures are in the moderate range (139 to 329), but it doesn’t matter because the surface is always chopped up.
Come the second week, things don’t improve. There’s a brief moment around Wednesday, August 19th, where the morning shows a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a light breeze, but the rating is still garbage. It’s just a tease. The wind stays onshore for the rest of the run. The only break on offer here, Nesika Beach, is exposed and gets hammered every time the wind picks up.
Look, there are no standouts. No hidden gems. The closest we get to a decent wave is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th, with a 3 ft swell from the WNW and a light 9 mph wind, but even that is only a "marginal" call. It’s not worth paddling out for. The forecast is poor, and it’s a consistent blank run. That’s just how it goes sometimes.
Stay patient, and check the charts again next week. Forecasts can change.
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.
