Surf's up, wave riders and coastal adventurers! The Pacific Northwest is serving up some serious swell action today that'll make even the most seasoned surfers take notice.
Long Beach and the Washington coast are looking at massive 8 to 11-foot waves rolling in from the west, packing a powerful 9-foot swell at 11 seconds. Expect a moody maritime scene with mostly cloudy skies and rain dancing across the water. Winds will be cruising southeast at a robust 17 to 21 miles per hour, so hold onto your boards and beanie.
Shifting down to Oregon's stunning coastline, Seaside, Cannon Beach, and the surrounding areas are matching that epic wave height - 7 to 10 feet of pure oceanic energy. Northwest swells are charging in with serious attitude, promising an adrenaline-packed surf session. The weather's keeping it classic Pacific Northwest - mostly cloudy with rain threatening to join the party.
Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, and Pacific City are riding similar wave patterns, while Lincoln City offers slightly more mellow 6 to 9-foot breaks. But don't be fooled - these waters demand respect.
Quick safety reminder: Cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are no joke. These coastal conditions can turn from playful to dangerous in a heartbeat. Stay alert, watch those unexpected waves, and never turn your back on the ocean.
Tide times are looking prime, with high tides peaking in the early morning and late afternoon. Sunrise kicks off around 6:45 to 6:48 AM, giving you plenty of daylight to chase those perfect waves.
Grab your wetsuit, check your gear, and get ready for an epic day of Pacific Northwest surfing!
