The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this outlook for Nesika Beach is a total dud. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, and I wouldn’t even bother waxing up. The whole run is a bust for any decent surf.

The first wave shows up on the morning of Sunday, September 6th, with a tiny 3ft swell out of the southwest, but it’s got that cross-on wind messing it up. The water’s at 56°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel it. The combined energy is weak at 397, so there’s no power behind it. Conditions are marginal at best, and honestly, it’s not worth getting wet.

From there, it’s a long, dry spell. The next several days are hammered by cross-on and onshore winds, mostly from the north-northwest, with speeds picking up. The swell stays small, rarely getting above 4ft, and the wave periods are all over the place – some short, some long – but the wind just tears it apart. The forecast keeps calling it “poor surf conditions,” and I can’t disagree. There’s a gap of several days with no recommendations, so you’re looking at a blank stretch.

Heading into the second week, around September 17th and 18th, the swell tries to get going. On the morning of Thursday the 17th, we see 5ft from the northwest with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 538 (moderate). But the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-on from the north, making it lumpy and choppy. That’s too sloppy for a beginner – it’s getting sizable and messy – and for an expert, it’s just ugly. By Friday afternoon the 18th, the swell hits 5ft from the northwest, but again, it’s a fresh cross-on wind. This setup looks more like a kite-surfing session than a paddle session.

The rest of the window just repeats the same story: small to modest swell, all wrecked by cross-on winds. There’s no standout session, no clean window of offshore or glassy conditions. The break is exposed to the northwest, but the swell direction is never right, and the wind never lets up. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real downer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
