Huge Storm Coming to Oregon Coast
November 5, 2009
It’s starting to build already, but Friday is supposed to be the worst day of a huge storm on the Oregon Coast. A Pacific typhoon is making its way east as it dies, but it’s not going down easily. The swell will get up to 32 feet at 19 second intervals, creating waves 57 feet high! Storm watchers from all over will want to come check this out. But I hope they come prepared because the wind will be gusting up to 55 mph and it will rain, rain, rain every day for the forseeable future.
Tow surfers should definitely go out today, Thursday, while the surf is still building up to 24 foot wave faces. I would say it’d be mighty sketchy to go out Friday. Again, make sure every part of every piece of your tow surfing gear is ready to perform for you under the worst conditions. Replace any gear necessary.
