The spot faces nearly due west, picking up abundant northwest swell energy that produces punchy, hollow peaks best suited for intermediate and experienced surfers. What makes Agate Beach unique is its wild, uncrowded atmosphere backed by dramatic Oregon headlands, where cold water, moody skies, and raw surf create an unforgettable Pacific Northwest experience.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Agate Beach is 2-3ft with a 6.85s swell period. Wind is N at 13mph and conditions are rated Poor - Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Agate Beach is 2-3ft, produced by a 0.9ft W primary swell at 8s, a 0.9ft SW secondary swell at 13s, a 0.9ft WNW tertiary swell at 11s, a 3.5ft NW wind swell swell at 7s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
