The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way at Nesika Beach. It’s not the most inspiring outlook I’ve seen, so let’s get into it.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, then a window with some clean, rideable surf, before things get pretty ordinary for a long stretch. Friday morning kicks things off, but it’s small and a bit messy with a weak 1ft swell from the southwest and a short period of 26 seconds. The combined energy is weak (334), and honestly, the conditions look marginal. The water is much colder than normal at 53°, a full 4° cooler than what you’d expect for this time of year, so a thick suit is a must.

The real standout, and the one to circle on your calendar, is Friday afternoon, July 24th. The swell bumps up to a clean 2ft from the southwest with a 24-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 764. The key here is the light, cross-offshore breeze at 10 km/h. That’s going to put a real clean face on those waves. This is the only session in the whole 16-day window that’s flagged as “very good surf conditions.”

Saturday the 25th is your next best bet, but it’s a step down. Morning sees a 3ft southwest swell with a 21-second period and moderate energy (825), and the wind is a cleaner cross-off 12 mph, though it’s a bit stronger. The conditions look clean enough for a session. It’s the last time we’ll see a decent score, after that, we’re heading into a long rough patch.

From Sunday the 26th onwards, the wind clocks onshore and the quality drops out. The surf hangs around the 3ft mark for a few days, but it’s all onshore wind with a short period dropping from 19 seconds down to 14. By Wednesday the 29th, we’re into “poor surf conditions” with moderate onshore breezes. That’s the start of a long, blank run. From Wednesday the 29th right through to Saturday, August 8th, I can’t recommend a single session. For over a week and a half, the forecast is consistently poor.

There are a few pulses of size later on, like around 5ft to 7ft on August 5th and 6th, but those come with strong, messy onshore winds from the north-northwest, gusting up to 25 mph. The combined energy does get up to 904 and 657 on those days, but the wind is just going to shred it. For a beach break like Nesika, that setup looks more like a kite session than a paddle session.

Hang in there, but for the next couple of weeks, your best chance for a clean wave is that Friday afternoon window. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on 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.
