Surf's up, coastal adventurers! The Pacific Northwest is serving up some gnarly wave action this weekend that'll make any surf enthusiast's heart race.
Long Beach and the Washington coast are looking at solid 4 to 6 foot swells today with west and northwest waves rolling in at 9 and 4 seconds respectively. Expect partly cloudy skies and temperatures hovering around a crisp 60 degrees. Wind will start gentle but kick up to a respectable 10 miles per hour from the northwest.
Heading south to Oregon's stunning coastline, Seaside and Cannon Beach are brewing some serious surf potential. Today's waves will range 4 to 6 feet with northwest swells, and while it's mostly cloudy, the conditions are prime for wave riders. Sunday promises even more excitement with 5 to 7 foot waves and mostly sunny skies.
Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, and Pacific City are not holding back either. Today's 3 to 5 foot swells will dramatically increase to 5 to 8 feet by Sunday, promising epic surfing conditions. Temperatures will climb to a comfortable 65 degrees with mostly sunny weather.
Lincoln City rounds out our coastal tour with consistent 4 to 6 foot waves today, transitioning to 3 to 5 feet tomorrow. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny conditions will make for a perfect beach day.
But wait - a critical warning for all beach lovers: cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are serious business. These unexpected wave patterns can catch even experienced surfers off guard. Stay vigilant, watch the water, and respect the ocean's power.
Grab your board, your wetsuit, and your sense of adventure - the Pacific Northwest coast is calling!
