The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with ya: the next couple weeks at Nesika Beach are gonna test your patience. It’s a rough stretch for more than a week, with no real surf worth paddling for until Monday the 14th.
From now through the 13th, the wind is a pain. Mostly cross-onshore, often blowin’ 15 to 30 mph, and the swell is either ankle-high or way too short-period. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Wednesday afternoon the 9th shows 5ft from the NW but it’s onshore at 9 mph and a 7-second period — just sloppy. Thursday the 10th has some longer-period SW swell (17 seconds) but the wind is crankin’ cross-onshore at 15 to 18 mph, making it a complete mess.
Saturday morning the 12th gives you a little hope: 4ft NW at 10 seconds with a light onshore breeze. It’s marginal, you could go out if you’re jonesin’, but it’s not the one.
Now here’s the standout. Monday afternoon the 14th, the wind goes glassy — dead calm at 3 mph from the WNW — and we get 5ft from the NW with a 7-second period. The combined swell energy is 487, moderate but punchy for a beach break. It’s clean, small, and no crowds mentioned. The beach faces NW. That short period means it’ll be a bit fat on the bars, but for a quiet session, that’s your best call of the whole two weeks.
Tuesday the 15th stays glassy in the afternoon, with 2ft of long-period SW groundswell at 16 seconds. Real clean, but tiny — a longboard kind of day. Wednesday the 16th afternoon is also glassy and clean, but 2ft.
After that, the wind picks back up late week and things go poor again. So if you’re lookin’ to paddle, circle that Monday the 14th. Otherwise, sit tight — it usually doesn’t stay this flat for long around here.

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.
