Surfers and beach lovers, buckle up for a wild coastal adventure! The Pacific Northwest is serving up some seriously moody maritime vibes today. We're looking at surf heights dancing between 5 to 8 feet along the Washington and Oregon coastlines, with northwest swells pushing 6 to 7 feet at a steady 9-second interval.
Long Beach and Lincoln City are bringing the drama with mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers. Temperatures are hovering around a crisp 50 degrees, so grab that wetsuit and some layers. Winds are blowing northwest at a moderate 4 to 9 miles per hour, keeping things interesting but not too crazy.
Tide lovers, listen up! We've got some impressive vertical action today. Expect high tides reaching up to 10.1 feet in the morning, dropping to dramatic lows around negative one foot. The afternoon brings another robust high tide around 7.4 feet.
For those chasing the perfect wave, today's your playground. But here's the critical advisory: cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are no joke. These coastal conditions demand respect and constant vigilance. A sneaker wave can catch you completely off guard, rushing further inland than you'd expect.
Tomorrow's forecast looks slightly mellower. Surf heights will calm down to 3 to 5 feet, with northwest swells around 4 feet. Expect partly cloudy skies and slightly warmer temperatures climbing to 55 degrees.
Sunrise hits at 6:51 AM, with sunset painting the sky at 7:47 PM. So whether you're a hardcore surfer or just a beach enthusiast, stay alert, stay safe, and enjoy the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest coast!
