High Surf Warnings Entire Oregon Coast: Waves 30 - 35 Feet Most Areas

(Newport, Oregon) - Another round of downright massive waves are heading for the Oregon coast with every part of it under high surf warnings for more than 24 hours. In fact, the height numbers have been increased overnight. (Photo courtesy Oregon's Adventure Coast)

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued the alerts starting earlier this week when they started with the southern coast, and has been slowly piling on more since Thursday.

This is a great time to head to the coast to take video and photos – but not a time to be on beaches at all. Wave height will be nearly 30 feet in many places and even higher farther south. Stay far above the surf, which means even foredunes may be dangerous if the tideline is continually just 20 feet away. Keep to higher ground, like viewpoints along the highway, parking lots and streets.

“Beaches and coastlines will become hazardous due to very large and life-threatening surf conditions,” the NWS said.. “Stay off of beaches, rocks, jetties,piers, and other waterside infrastructure.”

Keep off any cliffs areas that don't have solid concrete as the structure may soften in the rain and storm. For parking lots with seawalls that are low and right against the surf, beware of logs and other debris that could be tossed up (like the SW 32nd access in Lincoln City or even the Gower St. access at Cannon Beach.

The warnings are:

Clatsop County Coast

High Surf Warning from noon Friday to noon Saturday, with breaking waves of 30 to 35 feet. Coastal Flood Advisory from noon to 4 p.m. Friday for minor tidal flooding in low-lying coastal areas.

Pacific Northwest Weather | Oregon, Washington, Coastline (see NW from space) |---| Washington Coast Weather |---| Oregon Coast Weather |---| Inland Oregon Weather

Tillamook County Coast

High Surf Warning from noon Friday to noon Saturday, with breaking waves of 30 to 35 feet. Coastal Flood Advisory from noon to 4 p.m. Friday for minor tidal flooding in vulnerable low-lying areas.

Central Coast of Oregon

High Surf Warning from noon Friday to noon Saturday, with breaking waves of 30 to 35 feet and dangerous surf conditions.

South Central Oregon Coast and Curry County Coast

High Surf Warning from 10 a.m. Friday to 10 p.m. Saturday. Breaking waves of 20 to 25 feet Friday morning will build to 30 to 35 feet from late Friday afternoon through Saturday morning before slowly subsiding Saturday afternoon and evening.

Cautionary Advice and Impacts:

Extreme sneaker wave conditions are expected along the Oregon coast, especially Friday evening and Friday night, the NWS said. Minor coastal flooding is possible in low-lying areas of the north coast during high tide. Severe beach erosion, dangerous run-up, and wave impacts to coastal infrastructure are possible. They echo what Oregon Coast Beach Connection urges you to do: stay well back from the surf zone and avoid beaches, rocks, jetties, piers, driftwood, and other waterside structures, as waves can suddenly sweep people into the ocean.
