Surfers and beach lovers, get ready for an epic coastal adventure! The Pacific Northwest is serving up some serious wave action today along the Washington and Oregon coastlines.
We're looking at massive surf heights ranging 10 to 14 feet with powerful west swells rolling in at 8 feet and a sweet 17-second period. These are the kind of waves that'll make seasoned surfers grin and newbies think twice.
Today's conditions are mostly cloudy with some patchy fog hanging around, keeping things moody and mysterious. Temperatures will hover around a crisp 60 to 65 degrees with gentle northwest winds between 3 to 6 miles per hour.
Tidal rhythms will be dramatic today. Expect significant water level changes with lows dropping to around 3.5 feet and highs climbing to nearly 8.2 feet. Lincoln City, Seaside, and Long Beach will all experience these dynamic maritime movements.
As we roll into Wednesday, things get a bit more spicy. Surf heights will mellow slightly to 7 to 10 feet, with a slight chance of thunderstorms adding some electrifying potential to your coastal experience. Winds will shift and strengthen from the south, pushing 20 miles per hour.
Crucial safety reminder: these waters are not for the faint of heart. Cold waters, sneaker waves, and rip currents are serious business. Stay alert, respect the ocean, and never turn your back on these powerful waves.
Sunrise kicks off around 7:05 AM, with sunset painting the sky by 7:37 PM. Whether you're a hardcore surfer or a beach enthusiast, the Oregon and Washington coast is calling your name. Catch those waves responsibly!
