Surfing Lincoln City Oregon -
Surfing Near Deppe, Bay, Oregon
When the ocean's swells encounter the rocky reefs and sandbars offshore
near Lincon City, Oregon, the water piles up into monster waves that crash upon
the beaches.
Those are the conditions that surfers seek. People looking for
surfers, and how they operate, can spot them all along the beaches close to
Lincoln City.
Balance, coordination, timing, good physical conditioning
and strong swimming skills are needed to become a good wind or traditional
surfer. Beginners should start slowly, buying or renting a short, wider "boogie
board," Forse said. "That way they can get familiar with the feel of the board,
the waves and currents," he said. Another tip for the novice, he said, is to
find other people on wide body boards in more passive coves. Many beginners try
out the Otter Rock and Pacific City areas where gentler waves are encountered.
Don't miss the Nelscott Reef Tow-In Contest, held each year between October and
December. This one is for the professionals and is astounding to
watch!
Of course, those who ride the chilly Oregon waves must dress for
success. The water is very cold most of the time; and wet suits, along with
booties, gloves, and a hood, are necessary. As with all ocean sports, caution is
key. Before heading out on the breakers, inquire about wave conditions and safe
surfing areas.
In addition, there is great windsurfing and kitesurfing
opportunities on the Ocean and Devil's Lake, so if traditional ocean surfing is
not your style, you can still hit the water on a board!
