Florence - North Jetty surf guide

Florence - North Jetty is located just south of Heceta Head, where Highway 101 meets the coastline. This spot is near the town of Florence, right at the mouth of the Siuslaw River. The area is known for its sandy beaches and is a popular spot for surfers looking for beach breaks. To get there, you can take Jetty Road, which leads you directly to the north jetty.

The surfing here can be pretty decent, especially when the swell is on the smaller side. It works best with a northwestern swell, but you can also catch some waves with southwesterly and northerly swells. The surf handles sizes around 2 feet (approximately 0.6 meters) and offers left-breaking waves. For the best experience, try to hit the water on days with east winds and during low to mid tides. This spot suits intermediate surfers looking for a fun session.

While you catch some waves, just a heads-up—locals can be a bit on the aggressive side about the surf here. There’s a moderate concern about sharks too, so just keep that in mind while you’re out there. Overall, it can be a solid place for a surf if conditions line up right!
