Portland's favorite vacation playground, Cannon Beach is an increasingly upscale tourist town offering only marginal beachbreak and breathtaking sunsets as backdrop to the overdeveloped shoreline. Can get good mornings and evenings or on small, glassy days.
Majestic sea stacks along this stretch of coast include Haystack Rock, at 235ft (76m) the third tallest monolith in the world. Recent shark attack here. Plenty of free parking everywhere. Lots of slow summer traffic on the main drag.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
