The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what Nesika Beach has cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—it's a slow start, a real patience tester.
We're looking at a long, quiet run for the first week or so. Don't even bother paddling out from Wednesday the 9th through to the 15th. It's a whole lot of nothing with chop and onshore junk. The only flicker of hope is Saturday morning, the 12th. We've got a clean, 3ft SW swell rolling in with a cross-offshore breeze, making for a small but tidy wave. It's not going to blow your mind, but for a couple of hours, it'll be the only game in town. The combined swell energy is weak, just a paltry 535. Don't expect much.
We then hit another dry spell until Wednesday the 16th. That afternoon, the wind drops to glassy and we get a 2ft SW swell. The energy is still low at 202, but if you're desperate for a glide on a log, that's your window.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Circle Wednesday the 23rd on your calendar. We’ve got a standout morning and a killer afternoon. The morning brings a clean 6ft NW groundswell with glassy conditions. Combined energy is a solid 666, and the period is a healthy 10 seconds. But the real gem is Wednesday afternoon. The swell jumps to 8ft, still from the NW, period at 10 seconds, and the wind is completely glassy. The combined energy surges to 1618. This is the real deal. That NW swell direction is perfect for Nesika Beach, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be firing. This one's for the experienced crew though—8ft is too much for beginners. The period isn't super long, so it won't be overly fat, just well-shaped, powerful waves.
Thursday the 24th is worth a mention for the morning session with a 5ft NW swell and the wind going offshore, but the energy drops back to 503. The peak of the swell is definitely Wednesday.
So to sum it up: don't hurt yourself trying the first ten days. Wait for that Wednesday the 23rd. That's the one.
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.
