Northern Oregon Surf & Marine Weather Report

1. Wave Sizes

Clatsop Spit / Tillamook Head Breaks: Waist to chest high (2-3 ft) on average sets, with occasional shoulder-high (4 ft) peaks at top exposed outer break lines. Exposed beach breaks are delivering soft, manageable energy, while sheltered jetty corners and protected south sides are running cleaner in the knee-to-waist high range.

2. Current Weather

Conditions: Mostly cloudy with scattered coastal drizzle and early morning fog patches.
Temperature: Current 52°F | Today's High 58°F.
Current Wind: ESE at 9 mph (Offshore to light cross-offshore depending on beach orientation).
Wind Trend: Moderate easterly offshore flow through mid-morning shifts to a light to moderate S-SSE breeze by early afternoon, causing mild texture on exposed open beaches while protected corners remain workable.

3. Tides

Low Tide: 04:18 AM PDT (0.8 ft)
High Tide: 10:45 AM PDT (6.9 ft)
Low Tide: 05:12 PM PDT (0.3 ft)
High Tide: 11:28 PM PDT (6.2 ft)

4. Later Today & Tomorrow

Telemetry (CDIP 162 Clatsop Spit & CDIP 036 / NOAA 46029):
• Primary Swell: WSW (259°) at 3.8 ft / 18.2s. Long-period groundswell providing clean distance between sets.
• Secondary Swell: NW (310°) at 2.1 ft / 9.5s. Short-period chop creating minor background cross-sea.
Surf Trend:
• Later Today: Primary WSW groundswell energy holds steady with waist to chest high waves. Tide drop into late afternoon will make beach break peaks steeper and punchier.
• Tomorrow: Primary swell holds around 3-4 ft with periods dropping slightly to 14-16 seconds. Expect consistent waist to chest high surf with cleaner early morning offshore conditions before southerly winds pick up.
