Nesika Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s take a look at what Nesika Beach has on offer. Things start a little slow, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. The water temp here is sitting at 56°, which feels a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a good wetsuit.

Friday the 11th kicks off with a small, clean 3ft swell from the southwest, but the wind is on it and the energy is moderate. It’s not a total washout, but it’s marginal at best.

The first real standout is Saturday morning the 12th. We’ve got a 3ft southwest swell with a nice, long 14-second period – that’s real groundswell energy. The wind is a light offshore from the south-southwest, which will keep the face clean. The combined energy is moderate. It’s not huge, but for a clean, lined-up bank, this is your best early bet. Keep in mind this break is often crowded, so expect some company.

Things get messy from Sunday the 13th through the rest of the week. The wind swings onshore and stays there, chopping up the 4ft to 5ft swell. There’s a blip on Wednesday afternoon the 16th with a bump in energy and near-calm wind, but it’s still cross-onshore and the period is short at 8 seconds. Not worth paddling out for.

A glimmer shows up on Friday the 18th. That afternoon we get glassy conditions with a 2ft, 19-second period swell from the west-southwest. The energy is moderate, and that long period means it’ll have shape, though at a beach break it could be a bit straight. It’s small, but clean. If you’ve got a log, that’s the session.

Then it's another long gap of poor conditions and strong onshore wind right up to Saturday the 26th. The swell actually builds in size and energy – by Saturday the 26th we’re looking at 5ft swell from the west-northwest with a very long 15-second period and massive combined energy. That’s a lot of juice. But the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. That kind of setup, with that much wind and a beach break, honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

So, for the whole 16-day window, Saturday morning the 12th is your pick, and maybe that glassy Friday afternoon the 18th if you want a tiny, clean wave. Everything else is blown out or too weak.

Rusty.
