Neahkahnie Point is a surf spot located in Northwest, Oregon. This spot is part of the Oregon Coast, a coastal region stretching approximately 362 miles from California to the Columbia River. The surf spot features a boulder bottom and can be surfed at all tides. It’s suitable for intermediate surfers and offers waves with a length of 50-150 meters. Neahkahnie Point is known as a regional classic in terms of wave quality. The spot typically has empty lineups, making it a good choice for those seeking less crowded waves.

To access the spot, turn off Highway 101 about one mile past Oswald West State Park. There’s a car park on the headland above the wave where you can check the surf conditions. Alternatively, you can turn off at Neahkahnie Beach or Manzanita Beach and walk along the boulders at the northern end of Neahkahnie Beach until you see the wave breaking.
