The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here breaking down the goods at Nesika Beach.

We start this Saturday morning, September 12, with a clean 3ft southwest swell running on a solid 14-second interval. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, so the waves will be holding shape real nice. That moderate combined energy (535) gives you enough push for a fun session on a longboard or fish. Water temp is 56°, a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a good wetsuit is key. Saturday afternoon goes downhill fast with the wind picking up and quality dropping – hit that morning window.

Sunday the 13th morning is clean again with clear skies, a light cross-off, and a stronger 4ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. The energy is still moderate (542) and the conditions are clean. Solid morning for a few hours. But by Sunday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy, and then we enter a long, rough stretch.

From Sunday afternoon through to the morning of Thursday the 17th, it’s mostly poor – onshore or cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy surf. Nearly four days of junk. There’s a brief window Thursday afternoon, the 17th, when the wind goes glassy and there’s a clean 3ft NW swell, but the power is modest.

Friday the 18th has a couple small, clean, cross-off windows with a very long-period groundswell (19-20 seconds) pushing in at just 2ft to 2ft. Those long-period waves will have plenty of energy for their size – great on a point or reef, but at Nesika they might break a bit straight. The combined energy is still moderate (440), so if you find a good bank, you’ll get some fun runners.

After that, the wind and chop return from Saturday the 19th through Tuesday the 22nd – mostly onshore, choppy, not worth the paddle. The real gem in the second week is Wednesday the 23rd. The morning shows a 4ft WNW swell with a 12-second period and strong combined energy (718), but the wind is on. Then Wednesday afternoon goes glassy – dead calm – with the same solid 4ft swell and good energy (569). That afternoon is the standout: clean conditions, decent size, and proper period.

Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th keep the swell going, but the conditions are only fair with light rain and cross-off breezes, leaving the surf average. Saturday the 26th has consistent 5ft WNW swell and clean cross-off winds, but it’s just rideable, not epic.

If you want the best session of the whole outlook, it’s Wednesday afternoon, September 23. Glassy, a solid 4ft groundswell, good energy – that’s your one to circle on the calendar.

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.
