Brookings Beach Conditions & Surf Report

Brookings, at Oregon's far southern tip near the California line, sits in a coastal 'banana belt' that gives it some of the mildest, sunniest weather on the Oregon coast. Beside the spectacular Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor — a stretch of sea stacks, natural bridges, and hidden coves — it's a scenic, comparatively temperate south-coast town. The Pacific here is cold year-round — typically the upper 40s to upper 50s°F — so most visitors come for the scenery rather than swimming. Sneaker waves, cold water, and drifting logs are the real hazards, so check the safety flag above, never turn your back on the ocean, and keep well back from the surf line.
