Surf's up, wave riders and beach lovers! Get ready for an epic coastal adventure along the Pacific Northwest shoreline. Today's looking like a stunner with mostly sunny skies and some seriously impressive wave action.
We're talking about surf heights ranging from 8 to 11 feet, powered by a northwest swell rolling in at 9 feet and a solid 10-second interval. That's the kind of rhythm that'll make any surfer's heart race! Temperatures will hover around a crisp 60 degrees, with northwest winds dancing between 5 to 12 miles per hour depending on your exact location.
From Long Beach down to Lincoln City, the coastal vibe is electric. Manzanita and Pacific City will see slightly warmer temps pushing into the 60 to 65 degree range, perfect for those brave souls in wetsuits.
But listen up - this isn't your average beach day. Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real deal challenges. These aren't your friendly neighborhood waves - they're powerful, unpredictable, and demand respect. A sneaker wave can surge way further up the beach than you'd expect, catching even seasoned beach-goers off guard.
Tuesday's forecast looks similar - partly cloudy with surf heights slightly mellowing to 7 to 10 feet. The northwest swell will still be pumping, keeping things interesting for water enthusiasts.
Pro tip: Check tide charts, stay alert, and never turn your back on the ocean. Whether you're a surfer, photographer, or just looking to soak in some coastal magic, vigilance is your best friend out here.
Sunrise kicks off around 5:36 AM, with sunset painting the sky around 8:45 PM - giving you plenty of daylight to explore this magnificent stretch of coastline. Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy the ride!
