Avalanche - Newport surf guide

Avalanche is a surf spot located just off Yaquina Head in Newport. It features an outside sandbar and a reef setup, making it a unique place to catch waves. This spot requires experienced surfers due to its challenging entry and surf conditions. It's known for working best when the surf hits 12 feet (about 3.7 meters) or more, so it's not for the faint-hearted.

The surf here prefers a west swell direction but can handle northwesterly waves too. You can expect it to work well with swell sizes starting from about 6 feet (1.8 meters). The waves at Avalanche break over uneven reef and sand, offering both left and right-hand waves depending on the conditions. For the best experience, east winds and mid-tide heights are ideal, but remember, this spot is best suited for expert surfers only.

Accessing Avalanche involves a tricky jump off the cape, and it's strongly recommended to go with someone who knows the area well. While it can offer some good sessions, conditions can vary and rocks may appear unexpectedly, so stay alert while youโ€™re out there. If you're thinking of hitting up Avalanche, make sure you're prepared and ready for a challenge.
