Seaside Cove

Seaside Cove is a surf spot located in Northwest, Oregon. The spot provides both left and right waves. It’s characterized by a sand and rock bottom, suitable for all tide conditions. Seaside Cove is appropriate for surfers of all experience levels, but it’s important to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your abilities. The waves here sometimes break, offering rides between 50 to 150 meters long. The spot is known for its rips and undertow, so be cautious when surfing. Rocks are present in the area, adding to the surf spot’s challenges. At high tide, you can find lefts along the head, with a permanent current offering a way back to the peak. To the north, sandbar peaks create rights and lefts, especially on northwest swells. The waves can be hollow and powerless but fun at high tides, particularly for longboarders. Seaside Cove is situated at the boundary between sand and rocks, moving towards a bouldered point. It’s considered a regional classic in terms of wave quality. The spot typically sees few surfers, but it’s always important to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette. Nearby surf spots include Seaside Point, Indian Head, Cannon Beach, Needles, and Arcadia. Seaside Cove is part of the larger Seaside area, a coastal city with a rich history dating back to Native American settlements and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The city’s broad, sandy beaches and waves attract surfers and beachgoers throughout the year. When planning your surf session, be sure to check the latest surf forecast and reports, and consult local surf maps for the best spots.
