North Oregon Surf Breaks
Northwest Oregon, now this is a place for the hardy surfer! A favorite beach is Indian Beach. The break is gentle to extreme with the fall and winter bringing some menacing storms. You have to watch for driftwood when conditions are stormy. In a lull of harsh weather the break is strong and hollow during fall, winter and spring. Summer breaks are easy going with an occasional set keeping the hopes alive. This region has some hidden swells which are tricky to reach or a long walk downhill. Water temp can range from a chilly 48 degrees F. to a balmy 59-60 degrees F., so a quality wetsuit, boots, gloves and hood will help stay out longer. Wind can make for better surf if it comes out of the east or southwest, as the best swells come from the southwest. Indian Beach, the spot to check out on your next trip to Northwest Oregon. You won't be disappointed!.....Michael Gambill
