Surf's up, coastal adventurers! Get ready for a wild ride along the Pacific Northwest coastline. Today's looking like a moody maritime mix with mostly cloudy skies and waves that'll make your heart race.
Long Beach and Seaside are serving up some serious surf action with 3 to 5 foot swells coming from multiple directions. Northwest waves are rolling in at 3 feet with a smooth 8 to 9 second interval, while a sneaky southwest swell adds some extra spice at 1 foot and a whopping 16 to 17 second period.
Temperatures are holding steady around 55 to 60 degrees - perfect for layering up and braving the coastal conditions. Winds will be playing nice, hanging out at a gentle 4 to 5 miles per hour from the northwest, then shifting southwest tomorrow.
Tidal drama is in full swing with some seriously dramatic water levels. We're looking at high tides peaking around 7 to 8 feet in the morning and evening, with dramatic low tides dipping down to negative depths. Talk about coastal mood swings!
Tuesday's forecast cranks things up a notch. Surf heights are jumping to 5 to 7 feet with a more aggressive west and southwest swell. Expect partly cloudy skies with a chance of surprise showers to keep things interesting.
But listen up, beach warriors - this isn't just about catching waves. Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are serious business. These unexpected ocean ninjas can turn your beach day from epic to dangerous in seconds. Stay alert, respect the ocean, and remember: Mother Nature always writes the rules.
Sunrise hits around 5:24 AM, sunset at 9:11 PM - giving you plenty of daylight to explore, but not an excuse to let your guard down. Stay safe, stay stoked, and may your wipeouts be few and your memories many!
