Spot Guide
Cape Kiwanda is a stunning Oregon surf destination nestled along the Pacific City coastline, where a dramatic sandstone headland shelters the break and helps shape rideable waves even on stormy days. The spot produces punchy beach break peaks that work best on northwest swells, offering fun lefts and rights across a sandy bottom. What makes Cape Kiwanda truly unique in Oregon is the iconic dory boat launch scene and the towering golden cape that frames the lineup, creating one of the most visually spectacular surfing environments on the Pacific Northwest coast.
