@@MrBleworchid The park is called Shore Acres State Park. It's about 14 miles south of Coos Bay Oregon. Take hwy 540 (Cape Arago hwy) through Barview, and Charleston. It's best to check the weather and storm surge info for the best waves. But bring rain gear that's fit for high winds. And bring the camera with good dry wipes!

If it appears that an event is imminent we drop whatever we are doing and head for Shore Acres. Again, the event is so infrequent, we if one really wants to see Mother Nature put on a spectacular non destructive event this one is a must to see!

The waves are addicting to watch! A few years ago before "discovering" Shore Acres if someone had told me that I would spend more then 20 minutes staring at waves I would have told them they were crazy. So, LSS when Mother Nature is performing, we often spend 4-5 hours watching! What is hard to convey in a video is the sound of the explosions which amplifies the impact. You can literally "feel" them when the hit!

My Grandparents lived just a few miles from there on the bay where empire was. I have photo's they took in the 1940's and on and that my Dad has taken and that even I have taken all covering a huge time span..... Reflecting on that and comparing them what I find amazing is how resistant the rock and cliffs there are to the power delivered by the waves such as this year after year... While there are some changes over the 80 plus years they are far smaller then one would expect... Although I would expect sea level rise to start speeding up that process at some point. I also remember those rickety wooden stairs down some of those cliffs that used to be there around 50 years ago. Navigating those at times was a thrill in itself, on calm days of course.

No! A high tide does not necessarily translate into a wave explosion show, what is needed to produce the giant explosions is high surf (18'+) and the surf is not forecast to be very high.

A few years ago a King Tide and a High Surf hit together and it was a great show. If the tide is too high, then the "splash rock" is mostly under water and the swell just mows over the rock... resulting in no explosion. Generally the best wave explosions occur with high surf 18'+ at mid tide. Keep tracking the surf at surf-forecast.com Region: Oregon South Beach: Bastendorf Beach

Shores Acres (where this video was shot) is a state park in Oregon approximately 3 miles from the town of Charleston on the Oregon coast. The large wave explosions ONLY occur during a high surf event. A King Tide is a different kind of event and does not produce any large wave explosions! Unfortunately, the high surf (18’+) needed to generate the wave explosions only happens a handful of days a year, mostly in the Winter. You could get lucky, most of the times I have seen the event has been in December

There were some folks there from Europe yucking it up and I gave them a piece of my mind...
