Manzanita is a scenic beach break tucked along the northern Oregon coast, offering consistent waves shaped by the powerful North Pacific swell machine. The beach faces west-northwest and picks up both NW and SW swells well, producing punchy, shifty peaks that reward surfers who can read a sandbar. The stunning backdrop of Neahkahnie Mountain and the remote, uncrowded nature of this Oregon gem make it a refreshing escape from busier breaks to the north and south.
