Surf Report - Portland Oregon
Good morning, this is your Pacific Northwest surf forecast for Friday, May first through Saturday, May second, twenty twenty-six. If you're planning to hit the beach this Friday in Long Beach, Washington, expect five to eight foot surf with a northwest swell at five feet and twelve second intervals. It'll be mostly cloudy with highs around fifty-five to sixty degrees and northwest winds at twelve miles per hour. The best window for getting out there looks like mid-morning after that sunrise at six oh two, before the afternoon sea breeze picks up. Just keep an eye on those tides - you'll have a low of nearly a foot below sea level at seven forty-five in the morning, which can create some interesting current conditions. Moving down the coast to Seaside and Cannon Beach in Oregon, you're looking at similar conditions with five to eight foot waves and that same northwest five foot swell. Winds will be lighter early, starting at six miles per hour out of the north before bumping up to twelve by afternoon. Highs around fifty-five degrees. The low tide hits around eight sixteen in the morning, so plan accordingly if you're sensitive to those dramatic tidal swings. Further south at Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, and Pacific City, the surf stays consistent at five to eight feet with a slight addition of some smaller wind chop at two feet and five second periods. Northwest winds at nine becoming thirteen miles per hour. This area sees that low tide at seven twenty-two in the morning, so you've got a nice window for exploring tide pools or catching some cleaner early morning waves. Lincoln City is going to be the mellower option on Friday. Expect just two to four foot waves with a smaller two foot northwest swell. It's a great spot if you're newer to the sport or just want something less intense. North winds at twelve miles per hour with highs in the mid-fifties. Looking ahead to Saturday, conditions stay mostly consistent across all zones with that persistent northwest swell. Long Beach and the northern beaches maintain five to eight foot surf, while Seaside and Cannon Beach ease back to five to seven feet. Manzanita and Rockaway settle to five to seven as well, with Lincoln City seeing three to five footers. Winds become much lighter and more variable throughout the day, which could mean glassier conditions by late morning. One thing to note for Saturday - Lincoln City has a slight chance of showers, so grab a hood or stay under cover if weather gets sketchy. Here's the important part - cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents pose a real daily threat on this coast. These aren't just concerns for surfers. Everyone on the beach needs to stay aware. Sneaker waves can run up on shore way further than surrounding waves and catch people completely off guard. Rip currents are narrow channels of fast-moving water flowing back out to sea. If you get caught in one, don't panic and don't fight it directly. Swim parallel to shore until you're out of the curren This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
