Surf's up, coastal adventurers! Get ready for a wave-tastic weekend along the Pacific Northwest coastline.
From Long Beach, Washington down to Lincoln City, Oregon, we're looking at some seriously epic surf conditions. Today's forecast is serving up waves ranging from 6 to 10 feet - perfect for experienced riders looking to catch some serious swells.
The offshore winds are coming in strong from the northwest, bringing clean 6 to 7-foot swells with tasty 11 to 12-second periods. Translation? Smooth, powerful waves that'll make any surfer's heart race. Temperatures will hover around a crisp 55 degrees, so wetsuit up, wave warriors!
Partly cloudy skies mean you'll get some dramatic Pacific Northwest scenery while you're riding. Just be warned - these waters aren't for the faint of heart. Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real threats that demand your full respect and attention.
Sunday looks slightly mellower with surf heights dropping to 5 to 8 feet. Winds will gradually increase, so early morning might be your prime window for catching those perfect northwest swells.
Critical safety note: Whether you're a seasoned pro or a curious beach wanderer, always stay vigilant. Those deceptive sneaker waves can catch you off guard faster than you can say "wipeout". Keep your eyes on the ocean and your wits about you.
Sunrise hits around 6 AM, sunset around 8:30 PM - giving you plenty of daylight to explore these stunning coastal playgrounds. So grab your board, your sense of adventure, and remember - the ocean demands respect, but rewards the brave with pure, unbridled excitement!
Catch you on the waves, Pacific Northwest!
