Surf's up, wave riders and coastal adventurers! The Pacific Northwest coast is serving up some seriously epic conditions this weekend.
Let's break down the marine magic starting with Long Beach, Washington. We're looking at 4 to 6 foot swells today with a northwest breeze rolling in around 4 miles per hour, ramping up to 9 by afternoon. Those offshore swells are mixing it up with a 3 foot northwest pulse and a smooth 1 foot southwest runner at 17 seconds - perfect for intermediate surfers seeking some rhythm.
Shifting south to Seaside and Cannon Beach, Oregon, the scene looks equally tantalizing. Expect 4 to 6 foot waves with similar swell patterns - a northwest 3 footer at 12 seconds dancing alongside a 17 second southwest mellow wave. Temperatures hovering around 55 to 60 degrees mean you'll want that wetsuit, but conditions are looking prime.
Sunday brings more drama with surf heights climbing to 5 to 8 feet across the region. A robust northwest swell at 11 seconds will be generating some seriously clean lines. Winds will transition from north to south, pushing 10 to 13 miles per hour - creating dynamic conditions for advanced riders.
Pro tip coastal warriors - these waters demand respect. Cold currents, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real risks. Stay alert, watch those wave sets, and never turn your back on the ocean.
Sunrise kicks off around 5:30 to 5:40 AM, with sunset painting the sky between 8:43 and 8:50 PM. Your window for maritime magic awaits - ride it well and stay safe out there!
