Surf's up, coastal adventurers! Today's looking like a wild ride along the Pacific Northwest coastline. We're tracking some seriously beautiful northwest swells pushing 6 to 9 feet with killer 11-second periods - perfect for those seasoned wave riders.
Long Beach and Lincoln City are serving up some epic surf conditions with partly cloudy skies and temperatures hovering around a crisp 55 degrees. Winds will be blowing northwest at a steady 9 to 12 miles per hour, adding some extra texture to those incoming waves.
Seaside and Cannon Beach are also in the game with similar surf heights and a slight chance of morning showers to keep things interesting. Those northwest swells are going to dance along the coastline, creating some seriously photogenic breaks.
But listen up, beach lovers - this isn't just another day by the water. Cold ocean temperatures, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real threats. Those unexpected monster waves can catch even experienced surfers off guard, so stay alert and keep your eyes on the water.
Tides are looking dramatic today with high points reaching 8.8 feet in the early morning and dropping down to negative levels by mid-morning. Your sunrise window is around 5:40 to 5:47 AM, with sunset painting the sky around 8:38 to 8:44 PM.
Tomorrow's forecast suggests slightly calmer conditions with 5 to 8-foot swells and a shift to southwest winds. Showers are likely, so pack that waterproof gear.
Catch those waves, respect the ocean, and stay safe out there, coastal warriors!
