Spot Guide
Cape Lookout is a dynamic beach break located on Oregon's dramatic northern coast, where consistent Pacific swells wrap around the cape's headland to create quality waves across a sandy bottom. The ESE-facing break picks up west and northwest swell particularly well during fall and winter months, offering both lined-up peaks and fun shoulder sections depending on the tide and swell direction. The beach offers good accessibility and a mix of conditions, making it a solid spot for intermediate surfers looking to escape the crowds while enjoying Oregon's rugged coastal scenery.
