Surf's up, wave riders and coastal adventurers! Today's looking like a classic Pacific Northwest coastal experience with some serious maritime drama unfolding along the Washington and Oregon coastlines.
For our Long Beach and Washington coastal crew, we're tracking substantial surf heights ranging 7 to 10 feet with powerful west swells rolling in at 7 feet and 13 seconds. Expect mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers and temperatures hovering around a crisp 50 degrees. Southwest winds will be dancing around 11 miles per hour, adding some extra texture to those waves.
Seaside and Cannon Beach surfers get similar conditions today with impressive 7 to 10 foot surf and those same west swells promising some epic riding potential. Showers are likely to make an appearance, so pack your waterproof gear and keep that stoke high.
Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, and Pacific City riders can anticipate matching surf heights with west swells delivering 7 to 10 foot waves. Mostly cloudy skies with likely showers mean you'll want to layer up and stay prepared.
Lincoln City takes the prize with potentially the most exciting conditions today - 8 to 11 foot surf heights with magnificent west swells promising some serious wave action.
Important safety note: Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real threats. These waves might look inviting but can be extremely dangerous. Always stay vigilant, watch wave patterns, and respect the ocean's power.
Wednesday brings slightly mellower conditions with surf heights dropping to 4 to 6 feet and shifting to southwest swells. Cloudy skies and rain are in the forecast, so prepare accordingly.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy the wild Pacific coast!
