The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've combed through the local data for Nesika Beach. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
We start off with a pretty grim picture. From Monday the 14th right through to the morning of Wednesday the 23rd, it’s a write-off. We are talking a solid nine days of poor surf conditions. The wind is relentless, mostly from the north-northwest, hammering the coast with cross-onshore slop. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong (306 to 1053), but it's all junk. The swell is short-period (6-8 sec) and messy, offering nothing clean. The beach is exposed, and the wind just rips it to shreds. It’s the kind of setup that looks better for kite surfing than paddling out.
Things finally start to turn around on Thursday afternoon, the 17th of September. The wind drops to glassy, and we get a 4 ft swell from the NW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is still moderate (293), but the glassy conditions make it a brief window of clean, albeit small, surf.
The real standout, the one to mark on your calendar, is the stretch from Thursday the 24th through Sunday the 27th. This is when Nesika Beach (Oregon) gets its act together. We’re looking at a consistent pattern of glassy to light offshore winds from the south-southwest. Swell sizes hover around 3 ft to 4 ft from the west-northwest and northwest, with a solid 10-second period, giving them shape and push. Swell energy is moderate (434 to 301), but the wind is absolute gold – clean, clean, clean. This is the best on offer, no question. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
That run of quality surf carries on through Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th of September. The swell does drop off a bit – down to 2 ft – but the periods get long, hitting 16 seconds on that Monday. Combined with glassy to clean winds, it’ll be small but super clean, fun longboard conditions for sure.
So, in short: suffer through the next week and a half, then bag the weekend of the 24th to the 27th. That’s the window.
Stay wet, 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.
