Agate Beach surf guide

Agate Beach is a spot located near Newport, Oregon, with a mix of whimsical sandbars and a view of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse to the north. It's a place that's mostly protected from the north wind, especially as you head further up the beach. The rip current near the head can help with paddling out, making it a decent spot for surfers looking for a bit of fun.

The surf here can range from about thigh high (1 meter) to overhead high (2.5 meters) depending on the conditions. Agate Beach works well with swells coming from the south, southwest, and west, and it can handle sizes from 3ft to 8ft (about 0.9m to 2.4m). The bottom is mostly sandy, which makes for forgiving waves, and you can catch rides both left and right. It's suitable for surfers of various skill levels, from beginners to experts, but it's especially friendly for those getting the hang of it during the summer and autumn seasons.

Access to Agate Beach is straightforward. You can head west onto NW Oceanview Drive, just north of Newport, to find the Agate Beach Wayside parking. Although Agate and South Beach see their fair share of surfers when the swell is small, there's ample room to spread out, especially if you venture up towards Moolack Beach. The local vibe is pretty mellow, so you can enjoy your session without feeling too crowded.
