The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next stretch.
Honestly, it's a tough outlook for Neakahine Point. The whole 16-day run is pretty grim. We start with almost no surf to speak of and then when some size does show up, the conditions just refuse to play ball. There's a long gap of poor to useless surf for days on end.
It's not until Wednesday the 6th of August that we see something with a bit of grunt. Swell builds to a solid 8ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a meaty 1015 (strong wave energy). This is definitely expert territory. The problem? The magic doesn't happen. That offshore wind is from the west, but it's bumpy and the report flags it as marginal at best. Thursday the 7th of August we get a bit of a drop, still around 6ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore, messing the surface right up.
The one window that nearly gets a nod is Saturday the 9th to Monday the 11th of August. The swell holds around 6ft to 7ft from the WNW/NW, and the periods are hanging in the 9-10 second range. But we're stuck with onshore or cross-onshore breezes, keeping the wave quality just on the wrong side of average. For the safety seekers, that 6ft+ swell is already getting big for beginners, and by the 6th it’s way too big for anyone but the experienced crew. There's just no window with clean, glassy conditions to get excited about. Periods are short for much of the run too, so the shape will be crumbly and weak despite the energy numbers.
With that much swell but poor quality, and a reef-and-point setup, you might find this is more of a kite-surfing window than anything for a paddle board. It’s a tough run, but that’s how it goes sometimes at a spot as inconsistent as this. Go find something else to do for a couple weeks.
Rusty.

Information about the Neakahine Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Neakahine Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Neakahine Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Neakahine Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Neakahine Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Neakahine Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Neakahine Point is 51 km (32 miles) from Astoria. If you plan a vacation in North Oregon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Astoria. Astoria has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
