All spots listed are actually in Oregon, not Northern California, but here's the read on what's going on: Indian Beach is your best bet at ★3.5, with Short Sands and Cape Kiwanda close behind at ★3.0 — swell is running 6-9 feet at 9 seconds out of the WNW and building. Cross-SSW winds are keeping things manageable for now, though Short Sands is already feeling cross-onshore and the stronger sites like Roads End and Nelscott are getting breezy. Expect faces to fill in over the next 2-3 days as the swell continues to build — paddle out early before the wind gets rowdy.
