Surf's up, coastal adventurers! The Pacific Northwest is brewing a wild ride for beach lovers this Monday and Tuesday. We're looking at some seriously impressive wave action that'll make even seasoned surfers take notice.

Today's conditions start with moderate surf heights ranging 6 to 9 feet along the Washington and Oregon coastlines. West and northwest swells are rolling in at a solid 6 feet with an 11-second period - perfect for experienced wave riders. Expect mostly cloudy skies with a slight chance of showers and temperatures hovering between 55 and 60 degrees.

Southwest winds will be dancing around 12 to 16 miles per hour, adding some extra texture to the water. Tides will be putting on quite a show with multiple high and low points throughout the day, peaking around 7.4 feet in the morning and evening.

But hold onto your surfboards - Tuesday is cranking things up a notch! Wave heights are expected to surge to an impressive 10 to 14 feet with longer period swells reaching 10 feet at 13 seconds. These are serious conditions that demand serious respect.

A critical warning for all beach visitors: cold water, sneaker waves, and rip currents are real threats. Those unexpected waves can catch you completely off guard, so stay alert and keep a vigilant eye on the ocean. Remember, these aren't just risks for swimmers - everyone on the beach needs to stay aware.

Sunrise comes early around 5:30 AM, with sunset extending beach time until nearly 8:50 PM. Whether you're a surfer, photographer, or casual beachcomber, the Oregon and Washington coastlines are serving up some magnificent maritime drama.

Stay safe, stay smart, and enjoy the incredible power of the Pacific!
