Surf's up, wave riders and beach lovers! The Pacific Northwest coast is brewing up some serious maritime magic today.
Long Beach and the Washington coast are looking at a mellow surf scene this morning with 3 to 5 foot waves rolling in from multiple directions - west swells mixing with southwest and northwest currents. Expect mostly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering around a crisp 60 degrees. Southwest winds at 8 miles per hour will add some texture to the water.
But hold onto your boards - Thursday is bringing the real action! Surf heights will jump to an impressive 6 to 9 feet with powerful west swells measuring 6 feet at 12 seconds. The wind will shift northwest and pick up speed, promising some epic riding conditions.
Down the Oregon coastline - from Seaside to Lincoln City - similar conditions are developing. Today's waves measure 3 to 5 feet with a mix of northwest and southwest swells. Temperatures will dance between 55 and 60 degrees with mostly cloudy skies and a chance of scattered showers.
Thursday promises an adrenaline boost with surf heights climbing to 6 to 9 feet. Northwest winds will build momentum, creating perfect conditions for experienced surfers.
A critical safety reminder - these waters are dynamic and unpredictable. Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents can emerge suddenly. Stay alert, respect the ocean's power, and never turn your back on the waves.
Sunrise comes early around 5:24 AM, with sunset painting the sky around 9:11 PM. Catch those waves, stay safe, and enjoy the incredible Pacific Northwest surf scene!
