Surf's up, coastal adventurers! The Pacific Northwest is serving up some serious wave action this weekend that'll make even seasoned surfers take notice.
For Long Beach and the Washington coastline, today's looking at modest surf heights around 3 to 5 feet with a west swell rolling in at 4 feet and 9 seconds. Expect mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers and southeast winds cranking at 16 miles per hour. Temperatures will hover between a crisp 55 to 60 degrees.
But hold onto your boards - Monday's forecast is where things get wild! Surf heights are expected to jump dramatically to 7 to 10 feet with a powerful southwest swell measuring 8 feet at 10 seconds. There's even a slight chance of thunderstorms adding some electric excitement to the mix. Winds will shift southerly at 19 miles per hour and temperatures will cool down to around 50 degrees.
Our Oregon coastal zones are looking equally impressive. From Seaside to Lincoln City, today's surf sits comfortably at 4 to 6 feet with northwest swells. But Monday? Prepare for serious wave action ranging 8 to 12 feet with southwest swells promising epic riding conditions.
Important safety note: These waters aren't playing around. Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real threats. Stay vigilant, watch those wave patterns, and respect the ocean's power. Whether you're a hardcore surfer or just a beach enthusiast, always keep your wits about you.
Sunrise comes early around 6:55 to 6:58 AM, with sunset painting the sky around 7:42 to 7:44 PM. So gear up, stay safe, and get ready to ride some serious Pacific Northwest waves!
