(Lincoln City, Oregon) - The 2010 Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, November 2, under what looks to be the biggest conditions ever for the Nelscott event.Conditions forecast for Tuesday are for light and variable winds, and very large surf. If the system continues to develop as expected, swell should be 21 feet at 16-18 seconds. This is expected to produce swells upwards of 30 feet.
Nelscott District of Lincoln CityThat is quite a bit larger than previous years. The largest swell that the event has run in was 17 feet at 17 seconds, which produced waves in the range of 30 to 40 feet.The Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic is a unique event in that a set of weeks in October and November are set aside as when the event may take place, but the actual date is dependent on certain surf condition. The exact date of the event is announced 48 hours ahead of time when conditions are right.“This swell caught my eye the second it started showing up on the charts,” said John Forse, event founder. “The wind and a competing south swell were my only concerns, and now it looks as though neither will be an issue.” The Nelscott Reef event is the only big wave event to have been held every year since its inception, and it has been called on what turned out to be the best days of each year.
Conditions this size will be a major test for the organizers and competitors, as the 2010 contest will be the first time the event is paddle in only. It has been a tow-in event up until now, with boats towing contestants out to the famed reef – about a mile offshore.The change to paddle in coupled with the event being a part of the Big Wave World Tour has ensured that some of the top names in the industry will be present on Tuesday. Also, the Nelscott event looks to be the first big wave contest to feature women. "I have a lot of respect for some of the older guys we invited that have chosen to step aside and let some of the up and coming talent take a turn,” Forse said. "People like Gary Linden and Ross Clarke Jones have given up their spots for younger surfers to have a chance. It is the ultimate show of sportsmanship in my opinion."
The Nelscott Reef sits a mile out to sea, and creates massive sources of amusement for surfers. It was actually only discovered in recent years.The Nelscott Reef web page contains the most up to date information on the event. People can sign up for email alerts as well. The Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic is honored and proud be a part of the Big Wave World Tour and promote big wave surfinginternationally.

(Oregon Coast) – Coastal residents and tourists gasped with glee this weekend and Monday at massive waves that pummeled the beaches and rocky areas of the coast, while those in ships offshore cursed the storm as conditions prevented them from entering major ports.But even before all these wild storm conditions hit, the coast saw some oddities hit in the form of brown waves.Brown surf was spotted on the north Oregon coast on Friday, in between the first and second storm sessions. It was wandering up the beach at Manzanita that day in spurts, in the midst of an unruly tide that hinted at the crazier conditions to come. Keith Chandler, manager of Seaside Aquarium, said it showed up in stronger tones in the Seaside area, which is where it generally shows up in a much more prominent way.The brown waves are sometimes confused with pollution or with an environmental problem by tourists and even some locals who aren’t used to it. It is simply a larger than normal bloom of diatoms – a form of phytoplankton. It is a sign of a healthy ocean.
Depoe Bay's spouting horn (photo courtesy Depoe Bay Winery)Diatoms are actually the creatures largely responsible for the sea foam you see as well. They’re microscopic skeletons combine with the air to make all those suds and bubbles.No one knows why they periodically show up in such strong numbers that they turn the surf brownish, but Seaside’s area is rich in the nutrients that feed these – richer than many areas of the coast.Over the weekend, the brown waves were replaced by huge surf, often with swells in the 25 foot to 35 foot range.“Now it’s just a boiling cauldron of death out there,” Chandler said.
He added conditions were so wild - even on the long, somewhat ascending beach of Seaside – that a rare sight was caught Monday.“Some storm surges actually made it up to the Turnaround,” Chandler said.Throughout the rest of the coast, massive waves made a big – and somewhat dangerous – show, especially on rocky spots like in Yachats.In Depoe Bay, the seawall was a huge attraction, with the Spouting Horn going bonkers, shooting high up into the air, along with other spectacular wave action on this powerful chunk of basalt.
Storm surges hit the Seaside Turnaround (photo Seaside Aquarium)Meanwhile, conditions were so rough the U.S. Coast Guard closed off the Columbia River bar, along with other ports on the Oregon and Washington coast. The entrances to Tillamook Bay and Suislaw River at Florence were also closed.Ocean swells have already dipped down to the 20 foot category as of Monday, which is still causing wild sights, however.For continued surf warnings, wind advisories and such, see Seaside weather, Cannon Beach weather, Manzanita weather, Rockaway weather, Oceanside weather, Pacific City weather, Lincoln City weather, Depoe Bay weather, Newport weather, Yachats weather.

(Oceanside, Oregon) - Through the mysterious cave in the headland known as Maxwell Point, you emerge to one of the Oregon coast's most glorious secret spots. (Video tour of this secret spot at the end of this article)It all begins at Oceanside with the southern entrance: a concrete bunker-like structure that seems to keep open this hole in the cliff. It does periodically become the victim of landslides, and falling rocks can become a problem, so it’s best not to enter that tunnel during inclement weather. The soggy ground above can cause this tunnel to be cut off, thus trapping you.It goes from a bunker to a cave, and soon you’ve got to amble down some slightly testy boulders. The beach becomes a blend of sand and cobblestones polished and rounded by the tides. Continue northward and you’ll encounter structures built by visitors, like little shelters made of driftwood, lying around in various states of disrepair.
If sand levels are low enough, lots of cobblestones will be embedded in the sand, some rather loosely, and at serious low tide events a huge array of marine gardens are present.Given the right conditions, these cobblestones, when touched by the tide, make interesting rattling noises, which are sometimes nicknamed “magic rocks.”You’ll notice a nice collection rocky slabs and basalt shapes to wander around on, some on the cliff itself and some at the tide line. One area, with a kind of basalt ramp, looks a little like the setting in the old Star Trek episode that featured the Gorn (that famous lizard man fighting Kirk). Another dose of early Star Trek used to exist just a ways down, where a basalt arch once stood (it looked a little like that time travel structure Kirk and gang dropped into to get to the 1930’s). Some winter in the mid 2000’s, the arch came down, leaving two stacks amidst the grouping that already sit on the northern edge of this secret beach.Numerous little mini-caves lurk here, including a sizable one at the very end of the beach.These sea stacks reveal remarkable colonies of starfish at low tide events. It’s spectacular.
The large rock structure that creates a kind of dead-end here is called Hatbox Rock. At the very beginning of the century, when Oceanside was an almost bustling tourist resort, there was a walkway constructed on this structure – called an Angel Walk – which wrapped around it and allowed folks to wander to the other side. It was fairly elevated above the ground, but no doubt it didn’t last long in these gnarly oceanic conditions.On the other side is a hidden cove called Lost Boy Beach, which really is not accessible anymore. There is apparently another tunnel here, which once connected the hidden beach to Short Beach, which can be found via a couple miles’ drive to the north, close to Cape Meares.

(Oceanside, Oregon) – Somewhere between the bustling small town of Pacific City and the clandestine quiet of the village of Oceanside, there’s a monster of a state park. Cape Lookout State Park, which doesn’t necessarily include the cape of the same name, encompasses some five miles of beaches, before it dead ends along the Netarts Spit, around Netarts. There’s loads of camping to be had, some intriguing pristine sands, and during the winter it’s even an awesome storm watching spot.The beaches meander on to the north, while to the south, the park abruptly dead ends at the cape itself. A trail traipses upwards onto the cape, upon which you can also continue hiking to other magnificent sights and sites.
There’s really only a handful of access spots to the beaches: a high bluff lines the eastern side of the sands much of the way and doesn’t allow access back to civilization. The beach here is at first covered in large, polished stones, giving way to a flatter, sandy area. This can be a very tiny and dangerous during rougher seas, as the beach is not that broad and then easily eaten up by big tides. From here, you can see Oceanside’s famed Three Arch Rocks in the distance. 
Every few years or so, weather conditions create rougher seas than normal during winter, and more sand is scoured away than other years. The result is some fantastic sights at times, like bits of a ghost forest that are revealed here – an area not really known for this unusual example of geology and botany. Stumps some 2,000 to 4,000 years old emerged one year this past decade, part of a stand of trees that was buried somewhat abruptly by sand and tides, and thus preserved beneath the beach.That same winter – 2007 - conditions were so unruly they exhumed all sorts of wild things along the Oregon coast. But in Neskowin, about 20 miles south of here, there is a ghost forest that is visible year-round. So much scouring happened there that some of the 100 or so ancient stumps were uprooted, and wound up scattered all over Cape Lookout State Park in a myriad of pieces. 
This could be the beginning of the end of the ghost forest at Neskowin, if such conditions continue through the decades.It remains to be seen what happens this winter, as the Oregon coast is in the same weather pattern that brought on such erosion events as 2007.More About Pacific City, Oceanside, Netarts, Tierra Del Mar Lodging.....

Later on Wednesday night: clouds rolled in over a castle-like building just south of Cannon Beach, creating a kind of Transylviania vibe.“The upper ridge which has given the Pacific Northwest sunny and warm fall weather will shift east Thursday and Thursday night,” the NWS said. “This will allow an increasingly strong westerly jet stream to impact the northwest over the weekend.”The coast is expected to get hit initially with the first storm, with lots of rain and wind. Indeed, standing on the cliffs overlooking Manzanita was quite the windy experience in the wee hours of Thursday morning, while just a bit north, near Cannon Beach, the wind wasn’t nearly as heavy.
The coast is expected to stay overcast throughout the day. A second storm should come in around Saturday morning, bringing heavier rains. A weakening surface low will swing in from the southwest, riding along winds from that direction.“Computer models show a strong low pressure system developing in the Gulf of Alaska on Saturday, fueled by moisture of tropical origin,” the NWS said. “A very strong westerly jet stream associated with this low is currently expected to push a strong front system into western Oregon and southwest Washington Saturday night."The NWS said this could bring even heaver rains and wind that night, especially along the coastline.On top of it all, snow levels may lower in the Cascades of central Oregon and Washington later on Sunday and Monday, yielding significant snow, possibly down to the passes. 
“People planning outdoor activities, especially in the mountains and along the coast, should be ready for deteriorating weather,” the NWS said. Heavy rain and gusty winds are expected to dominate the following week.Full Oregon coast weather here.

(Oregon Coast) – Oregon authorities have issued a strong warning to keep humans and pets away from all sea lions found on any Oregon coast beach, as they could become infected by a disease that’s hitting the population in this area.The disease is called leptospirosis, and it’s infecting California sea lions in enormous numbers, something made worse the by fact there’s a huge boost in the population of California sea lions in this area. It often kills them and their bodies wash up onshore. The disease can spread to humans and dogs who come in contact with an infected sea lion.Jim Rice, an Oregon State University scientist who is leader of the Marine Mammal Stranding Network, issued the warning over the weekend. He said there have been multiple calls each day about sick or dead sea lions. Many have tested positive for leptospirosis.
The carcasses of these animals are being sent to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in OSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine.It doesn’t take direct or extremely close contact to catch the disease from an infected sea lion. The disease can be transmitted by feces or urine left in the sand by one of the creatures.The illness is quite dangerous to humans and can cause death.When a mammal like a sea lion or seal washes up onshore – dead or alive – the Marine Mammal Stranding Network deals with it, posting signs to keep away until state park officials can remove it. Network officials say to keep well away from the creature, and make sure your dog is on a leash and cannot go near it.
Sea lion on the north coast (photo courtesy Seaside Aquarium)Persons seeing dead or sick marine mammals on Oregon beaches are encouraged to call the Oregon State Police at 1-800-452-7888.Jane Holbrook, a volunteer for the network, had no exact number yet as to how many California sea lion bodies were recovered, and how many of those were infected. Necropsies are still being performed on every creature brought in.Holbrook said she’s encountered more sea lions that have died than not, however.
Sea lion on the north coast (photo courtesy Seaside Aquarium)“I’ve had several over the last two weeks that have expired,” Holbrook said.So far, the public has been quite willing to keep their distance and obey signage, especially with all the press these incidents have received.“Most of the time they’re pleased to stay away,” Holbrook said. “They know there’s the potential for illness.”Holbrook wanted to reiterate that even though there are special circumstances right now, it’s still illegal to go near them or disturb them when they’re resting on the beach – whatever mammal is found.“The law requires that you stay away from all these animals,” Holbrook said.
Sea lion on the north coast (photo courtesy Seaside Aquarium)Keith Chandler, manager of Seaside Aquarium, is the leader of the north coast squad from the Marine Mammal Stranding Network. He said that so far there haven’t been any incidences of California sea lions with the illness on the north coast.“The central coast has just gotten hammered,” Chandler said. “And so has California. But we’re treating every animal as if it could be infected. We’re erring on the side of caution.”There was one incident of a sea lion on the north coast that was suspicious, but a subsequent necropsy revealed no leptospirosis.Chandler said he has definitely seen a big spike in California sea lions on the north Oregon coast. “A lot more younger ones,” Chandler said. “Ten years ago, we’d hardly see the younger California sea lions, mostly adults. And they’re coming onshore a lot more because of the heavy seas. They need to rest more.”Chandler said there’s more of them coming up from California because they’re looking for food. Those great numbers haven’t hit on the north coast yet, but he expects it to do so at any time.Tourist attractions like Sea Lion Caves or Oregon Coast Aquarium will not pose a risk to humans, as the sea lions are not touchable by the public. At the aquarium, it is a closed population and the disease can't reach there.Seaside Aquarium does not have any sea lions. Also, the disease has so far only affected one species of sea lion.Below is a video of a recent sea lion stranding in Lincoln City, which eventually died.More About Oregon Coast hotels, lodging..... 
(Lincoln City, Oregon) – Oh the ways to have fun on the coast, especially right now. There's a touch of “Second Summer,” of storm action, ethereal oddities and of astronomical phenomena happening on the coast right now. Some rather striking aspects of the beaches have kicked in – and many don’t seem aware. (Pictured above: Stonefield Beach at dusk on Tuesday night, near Florence)
Muriel Ponsler Wayside, near FlorenceOregon Coast Weather. Don’t let the weather reports full you – it’s actually nicer than they say it is on Portland TV stations, and they’re saying it’s pretty nice.Temps in some places have been exceptionally warm, even hot. Not because the coastline itself is necessarily all that warm, but sometimes when there’s no wind and a lot of sun, the sun reflects off the ocean and seriously heats things up. Some brilliant sunsets have been reported. Add to that the presence of the moon, which appears to be struggling with the sunset for dominance in the dusk sky, and you have some remarkable sights at sundown.The awesome weather has been sucking in folks from the valley in droves, and the highways on the central coast have been pretty packed at times this week. However, coastal lodgings are now really dipping into the “shoulder season” of great deals, so mid-week stays on the coast are especially inexpensive and inviting now.The weather in Portland and other parts of the state may be monstrously lovely as well, but on the coast, it's combined with some other things that are making the area ethereal and dreamlike.
Lincoln City at night, where glowing sand has been seenGlowing Sand. Yup, it’s been spotted. It’s been confirmed in Lincoln City, as of late Tuesday night. And conditions are ripe around the coast for this to show up now.It’s the result of a bioluminescent form of phytoplankton that hits the coast periodically, causing little sparks blue/green beneath your feet as you walk along the beach. You must find a very dark beach, however, with little to no light interference from streetlamps or the moon.The moon is getting more prominent, so that may be a problem.
Near Yachats: Cook's Chasm goes a little wild, while getting hit with the rays of duskCrazed Waves. The great visual dichotomy of what’s happening now is the occurrence of monster waves on the coast. In spite of starkly sunny and calm conditions, places like the Spouting Horn in Depoe Bay, the spouting horn at Cook’s Chasm near Yachats, or the craggy basalt rocks of Yachats are the recipients of enormous wave action, and thus some monster spouting horns.
Near Cape Foulweather (Depoe Bay), at night: stars are out in full force, and so are many shooting startsShooting Stars. It’s typically been cloudless conditions at night recently, and that means some clear views on the coast of the stars, constellations, and some amazing shooting star action. There isn’t anything in the astronomy world to indicate the Earth is going through anything crazier than normal in terms of meteor showers, but the plummeting mini-planetoids can be plentiful right now. Thanks to the lack of major light noise from big cities and the clear air of the coast, if you’ve got no clouds on the beaches, you’re in for a show at night – a lot of the time. It’s not guaranteed. But BeachConnection.net staff were goofing around a few beaches in the middle of the night on Tuesday morning for about two hours and saw around six major streaks in the sky.Don’t forget to make a wish.
Manzanita, close to duskPlaying on Your Laptop at Dusk. Here’s an odd one, but a significantly interesting one, discovered in Manzanita at the beginning of October during some gorgeous weather. At least one staff member at BeachConnection.net dragged their laptop out near the beach at sunset, and did a little work.There is nothing like it. It’s not suggested to actually bring it out onto the beach, but editor Andre’ Hagestedt discovered that parking above the beach, then setting your laptop on the trunk of the car can have its major moments of satisfaction.“I did about 30 minutes of work from the trunk of my car, while the last remnants of sunlight shifted colors and faded away,” Hagestedt said. “Meanwhile, there’s that constant sound of the surf. It’s an awesome way to work, to write.”More About Oregon Coast hotels, lodging..... More About Lincoln City Dining, Restaurants..... LATEST OREGON COAST NEWS STORIES
(Oregon Coast) – It’s the next to last mad dash for the coast, escaping what little summer the inland portion of Oregon has had, all on the last weekend before Labor Day Weekend signals the end of summer.While the landlubber part of Oregon will be basking in the glow of overcast conditions and temps around 70 (no, there’s no sarcasm there), the coast is expected to be mostly sunny, albeit a bit chilly and around 60. Still, it’s a decent sendoff to the summer of 2010.In the meantime, coastal lodgings are expecting to get swamped. Here’s a list of those that currently still have some availability. Many reported openings only on Friday. Always call ahead of time to make sure conditions have not changed.Oregon Coast General
