Manzanita Beach Conditions & Surf Report

Manzanita is a quiet, laid-back village on the northern Oregon coast, set on a seven-mile stretch of sandy beach beneath Neahkahnie Mountain. Low-key and uncrowded, it draws visitors seeking a peaceful, scenic escape of long beach walks and coastal views away from the busier resort towns. 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.
