The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next sixteen days for this stretch of coast, it’s a pretty grim picture for most of the run. We’ve got a lot of small, short-period swell and the wind is mostly going to be chopping things up from the north. There’s not much on the table that’s going to have you calling in sick for work, but we’ll dig through it and see if there’s any sort of window.
The first week is honestly a write-off. Starting Monday the 3rd, we’ve got weak energy in the water, around 184, and a cross-shore wind creating a nasty cross-chop. That combo just makes for poor surf conditions. The swell is only around 3ft but with a period of just 8 seconds, it’s all jumbled. This pattern basically holds through the entire first week and into the second. We’re looking at a solid 10-11 days of no real surf on offer.
Now, the only spot on the map is Seaside Point (reef and point). It’s a consistent wave, which is something, and it’s exposed to the west. That means it’s picking up everything, but right now all that is, is a mess. The water temp is about 60°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first time things get even slightly interesting is around Thursday the 14th. We’re still not looking at anything epic, but the energy jumps up to a more moderate 343. It’s still just a 4ft swell, but the period is a weak 8 seconds. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, which is better than the fresh junk we’ve had. But the forecast still just calls it marginal. It might be worth a paddle if you’re desperate, but don’t expect much.
Then there’s a glimmer on Sunday the 16th. The energy is even higher, with a reading of 328 in the morning and 354 in the afternoon. It’s still only 4ft to 4ft, but the period is 8 seconds and the wind turns light and, for a moment, offshore from the west. This is the most interesting conditions we see all stretch. It could be clean and fun on the point. Think of it as a promising but not certain prospect, being a week and a half out. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is not exactly the SW optimum this spot loves, but with light wind, it could still work.
After that, it fades back into the same old story of small, short-period slop. There’s some of that very long period energy (15-18 seconds) showing up from the southwest on the 12th, 13th, and 15th, but the heights crash down to 1ft. That's not surf, that's a lake with a pulse. It’s just not enough to do anything with.
So, bottom line: this isn’t your weekend. The only real standouts are the 16th, if the forecast holds. Before that, it’s a lot of closeouts and chop. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period. It’s a long dry spell, but the spot is consistent, so it’s not likely to stay this poor for too long. We’ll just have to wait for the ocean to wake up.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Seaside Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Seaside Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Seaside Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Seaside 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 (Seaside 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 Seaside 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.
Seaside Point is 28 km (17 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.
