Seaside Cove surf guide

Seaside Cove is a surf spot located in Oregon, known for its unique blend of rocky and sandy areas. This spot is tucked away in a nice section of beach that bends westward, providing a protective cove for surfers. The atmosphere here is generally friendly, making it a more relaxed alternative to some of the more crowded beaches nearby.

The surf at Seaside Cove works best with a west or north swell. When the conditions are good, surfers can catch some nice lefts and rights, especially with a NW swell. It handles swell sizes starting from around 2ft (0.6m) and can produce hollow and hefty waves when the swell gets over 10ft (3m). Generally, the waves can be more mushy and sectiony at higher tides, suitable for longboarders, while at lower to mid tides, the surf can get more powerful. The breaks happen over a mix of boulders and sand, which adds some variety to the waves. The preferred wind direction is southeast, which can help clean up the surf.

This spot is ideal for intermediate surfers, with a bit of a challenge at times due to the waves closing out at lower tides. Although there are some good beginner-friendly waves, those looking to really push their skills will find suitable conditions at Seaside Cove. The rip current can help transport surfers out into the line-up, providing easier access to the waves. Overall, it's a good place to spend some time on the water if you're looking for something a bit different.
