Surf's up, coastal adventurers! The Pacific Northwest is serving up some serious wave action today and tomorrow, so grab your board and your wits.
From Long Beach, Washington, to Lincoln City, Oregon, we're looking at consistent 5 to 7 foot swells that'll make any surfer's heart race. Those offshore waves are rolling in from the west with a sweet 14 to 15 second interval - basically, surfer's perfection.
Today and tomorrow are bringing mostly sunny skies with temperatures hovering around a crisp 40 to 45 degrees. Winds will be dancing from the northeast and east at a mild 6 to 11 miles per hour, creating clean conditions for wave riders.
But listen up, beach lovers - this isn't just another day at the shore. Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real threats. A sneaker wave can surge dramatically further up the beach than expected, catching you completely off guard. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water that can pull even experienced swimmers out to sea.
Sunrise hits around 7:20 to 7:24 AM, with sunset following between 5:36 and 5:41 PM. Perfect timing for an epic coastal day.
Pro tip: Stay vigilant. Watch the waves, respect the ocean, and never turn your back on these powerful waters. Whether you're surfing, walking, or just enjoying the view, safety is your best accessory.
Catch you on the waves, Pacific Northwest!
