Surf's up, coastal adventurers! Buckle up for a wild ride along the Pacific Northwest coast where Mother Nature is serving up some seriously intense wave action today.
We're looking at monster surf heights ranging from 12 to 16 feet with powerful west and northwest swells running at a solid 12 feet and 15 seconds. Translation? These are not your average beach day waves - these are epic, adrenaline-pumping maritime monsters that demand respect.
Long Beach, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Rockaway, Pacific City, and Lincoln City are all under a Beach Hazards Statement through 4 PM. Surfers and beach lovers take note: cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are lurking, ready to catch the unsuspecting off guard.
Expect mostly cloudy skies with rain chances hovering between likely and slight, temperatures holding steady around 45 to 50 degrees. Winds will be dancing southwest at 9 to 11 miles per hour today, shifting to a southeastern breeze tomorrow.
For the Tuesday forecast, wave heights will calm down to 8 to 11 feet, but rain remains the headline with cloudy conditions continuing. Sunrise comes early around 7:10 to 7:14 AM, with sunset painting the sky between 5:45 and 5:49 PM.
A friendly warning from your local meteorologists: remain vigilant. Sneaker waves can surge further inland than you expect, and rip currents are powerful enough to challenge even experienced swimmers. Stay alert, stay safe, and enjoy the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest coastline.
Surf's on!
