Surf Break: Seaside Cove

Seaside Cove in Oregon_North is an exposed beach reef and point break that has consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds are from the east. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell direction is from the northwest. Waves at the beach are both lefts and rights and in addition, there is also a left hand point break. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Hazards include sharks, rips, rocks and locals.
