any recommendations on surf conditions to look for like what would be suitable conditions and possibly websites to monitor the forecast for those conditions? My son and I are going to be coming over to there when we have the time and conditions support it. We are coming from central Oregon and I like to be somewhat prepared!
You will want to watch the Magic Seaweed website. For your first trip, I would recommend 1-2 ft. surf. That usually only happens in the summer. With more experience, 2-3 ft. surf is usually fine. 3-5 ft. surf is my limit. This video was taken on a 2-4 ft. day. The wind should be under 10 mph. The wind is usually lower early in the morning. It is best to go at either high tide or low tide. Avoid outgoing tides with big tidal exchanges. Make sure to have a tall flag so that dory boats can see you in the waves. For safety you will need a wetsuit or drysuit, life jacket, and cell phone or radio. Send me a message when you are thinking about going, and perhaps we can met up. magicseaweed.com/Cape-Kiwanda-Surf-Report/560/

I'm thinking about Easter Sunday. The conditions on Magic Seaweed look great according to my inexperienced view?
Yes, I plan to be there if the conditions hold.
What time do you think you would be launching? Around 8 looks like the tide is right ?
I'll be there about 7:30. Hopefully it won't be too foggy.
Is this current?
