Surf's up, wave riders! The Pacific Northwest is brewing some serious oceanic drama for the next couple days.
Today's coastal conditions are setting the stage for an epic swell along Oregon and Washington beaches. We're looking at moderate surf heights ranging 5 to 8 feet with west and northwest swells rolling in at a solid 6 feet and 11-second intervals. Expect mostly cloudy skies with rain likely to make an appearance - so grab those waterproof layers.
Temperatures will hover around a crisp 50 degrees with gentle southerly winds between 3 to 12 miles per hour. Low tides will dip to around 2.7 to 3.2 feet in the morning, while high tides will peak between 8.1 and 8.8 feet midday.
But hold onto your wetsuits because Wednesday is bringing the maritime mayhem! Surf heights are cranking up to an impressive 11 to 15 feet with northwest and southwest swells generating 8 to 9 foot waves at 14 and 9-second intervals. Cloudy conditions with intermittent showers will accompany these powerful oceanic performers.
CRITICAL WARNING: Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are serious threats. These waves can surge unexpectedly far beyond normal patterns, creating dangerous conditions for even experienced beach-goers. Stay vigilant, keep a safe distance from the water's edge, and never turn your back on the ocean.
Sunrise kicks off around 7:32 AM with sunset following at 7:18 PM. Stay safe, stay stoked, and respect the power of the Pacific!
