Surf's up, coastal adventurers! Get ready for a wild ride along the Pacific Northwest coastline. Today's forecast is serving up some serious wave action with surf heights ranging from 10 to 15 feet from Long Beach, Washington, all the way down to Lincoln City, Oregon.
Buckle up for a wet and wild day with southwest winds howling at 14 to 17 miles per hour and mostly cloudy skies dropping rain along the entire coast. We're looking at temperatures hovering around a chilly 50 degrees, so grab your wetsuit and some warm layers.
The offshore swells are packing a serious punch - west and northwest waves climbing to 11 and 12 feet with 12-second intervals. These aren't your average waves, folks. This is hardcore Pacific Northwest surf territory.
Tide chasers will want to mark their calendars. Today's high tides are peaking between 7.6 and 8.3 feet in the morning, with low tides dipping to around 1.2 to 1.3 feet by early afternoon. Evening high tides will settle back around 5.4 to 5.8 feet.
Looking ahead to Saturday, conditions will mellow out slightly. Surf heights will drop to 8 to 12 feet with lighter southeast winds around 4 to 6 miles per hour. Expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers.
Important safety note: Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are no joke. These coastal conditions can be treacherous, so stay alert, keep your distance from the water's edge, and never turn your back on the ocean.
Sunrise comes in at 7:13 AM, with sunset painting the sky at 7:32 PM. Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy the magnificent Pacific Northwest surf!
