The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Nesika Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty bleak. The whole 16-day window is a tough watch. The first surf I can even mention is on Saturday the 25th, and even then, it's a real struggle. There’s a long gap of poor conditions stretching from the 28th of July all the way to the 9th of August, with almost nothing worth paddling out for. The swell energy is mostly moderate at best, peaking at 1071 on the Sunday morning, but the wind just won’t play ball.
Let’s start with the best of a bad bunch. Saturday the 25th afternoon, the swell is small at 3ft from the southwest, with a proper long period of 21 seconds. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some punch for its size, though it might be a bit straight-breaking if you’re on a beachie. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’ll be clean enough. It’s not going to blow you away, but given the rest of the forecast, it’s the most you can hope for. The water is sitting at 53°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 26th morning sees a slight bump to 4ft from the southwest, with a period of 19 seconds and energy up at 1071. The wind is light and cross-on, so it’ll have some texture on it, but it’s your next best shot. For the rest of the period, from Monday the 27th onward, the wind turns onshore and stays onshore, gusting up to 25 mph for days on end. The swell sticks around 3ft for a while, but with that wind, it’s just a messy, choppy affair. A couple of bigger pulses hit around the 2nd to 4th of August, with swell building to 5ft to 6ft from the northwest, but the period drops to a horrible 7 seconds – short-period, wind-affected junk. That combined with strong cross-onshore winds means it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. If you’re desperate, Saturday the 25th afternoon is your best bet for a few cleanish, long-period waves. Other than that, the second week is all poor conditions with onshore wind. It’s a rough stretch.
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.
