Looking south from Yaquina Head. You can see the jetty and bridge in this photo shot when the surf was 10'+ recently.
Here is an Oregonhowodd photo;

Took this when I was living in Bandon three years ago---our guess was twenty-five to thirty feet using the rocks and cliff as scale:

What you need is a suicidal surfer in that wave to give it scale.

How Odd, I judging that you've never lived on the Oregon coast. To claim that only five days a year are not "majorly" chilly is really a sort of LA LA
Land attitude. I project that this is the kind of attitude that spawned the bumpersnickers "Don't Californicate Oregon"
There is only one difference between your claim and a 'Gonian claiming that there were only five days a year when the air quality in Orange County
wouldn't gag a maggot. The difference being that the Oregonian would be pretty close to correct. That, and there is VERY little beauty left between
Bakersfield and Mexico.
I find it interesting that if the same storm now routinely battering the NW coast was occurring in Texas, they'd give it a name, call it a hurricane,
and everyone would be running around wringing their hands. I'm proud of my resilient neighbors to the north! Very impressive Corky.

Beautiful, but Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! "Chilly" is a relative statement. Heck, I lived in San Diego for 30 years and froze the
whole time, so you know where I am coming from.
I have NEVER been warm on the Oregon Coast, even in August, but the beauty is astounding.

Redding and El Centro- nice weather? I thought I wouldn't survive the heat living in Calexico for five years. ---- it is all relative. OK, after
dark in the Spring and Fall, the weather in Calexico was nice. 
I loved the weather when we lived in Crescent City, Calfiornia, just south of the Oregon coast----and the weather changed about every 15 minutes.
Love the Oregon Coast and those are great photos---but about those sneaker waves you have there-----didn't believe it until John was almost taken off
a VERY tall cliff by one.

That is a great spot on the Oregon Coast. I broke a mast on a windsurfer just a little further out than the pictures shows. The water temp. was 52
and I was wearing a lite wetsuit.
The first guy to come by offered to take my sail back to shore. He was the one that had sold me the mast.
The next guy to come by said you are way to far out for me to pull you back in so I will give you a piece of line in case someone else decides to
help.
The third person to stop was a young woman. She asked me what happened and then said I will pull you back in. I asked her if she was sure and she
said I have done it a number of times before. She had an uphaul line which we tied to the one I had been given. We then tied that to my mast base and
to her back foot strap. She then loosened her boom and lowered it about 6 to 8 inches. This allowed her to sail in a sitting position which gave her
a lot more control when the rope came tight.
I was probably about a mile from shore at that point and she pull me in to the breakers, only falling once. That was some incredible sailing. She
asked me my name and told me hers. She was Ruth from Hood River.
Later I tried to look her up but could never find her to say thank you.

Vagabundo--actually the air quality in Orange Co is usually pretty nice--the EPA has really cleaned up the air in the LA Basin over the last 30 years.
No beauty between Bakersfield and Mexico? Tehachapis, Wind Wolves Nature preserve, Hwy 33 into Ojai, Highway 199 over to SLO town, Santa Monica
Mountains, Poppy Preserve, Caspers Park in Orange County--with the densest population of cougars probably in the US and a bioreserve stretching from
the Santa Ana mountains to the ocean, Aliso Canyon, Laguna Canyon, some of the best beaches in the world along the south coast, Mission Trails Park,
etc., etc.

Yep Wil those guys, oops, and gals are amazing and hardy folks. Unfortunately we lose visitors to the mighty sea regularly. It's a nasty ocean for
sure.
We get quite a few windsurfers looking for healthy food after a long day. I've seen a few blue ones.

Calm of the bay
No kidding Rog! As much as we love the coast and have always lived/worked on one, it's a different story here. It's not very fulltime friendly along
the Pacific Ocean here as most know. That is why we live inland.
I know more than a few folks who own(ed) coastal front second homes for years as a retreat or vacation home with plans to retire in them.
It only took one year to decide to move inland after one season of big storms.
Horizontal rain/wind/fog/chill for months on end ain't for everyone!
We have here what I refer to as "The UV Fog" It occurs regularly in the summer months. It looks like normal coastal fog but will burn anyone who
doesn't protect themselves.
I've seen thousands of burned people that only spent a couple hours walking along the beach in the UV fog.
One time some tourists who reside on Kauai and had deep Hawaiian tans came in and were in complete shock and awe when they got burned on the foggy
Oregon coast.
Very strange indeed.
Here is a shot from summer of Yaquina Bay:

Natural Beauty in Southern California
I got permission from Steve to post this landscape in the Los Angeles area. I saw it several weeks ago and was greatly impressed. Steve lives in SoCal
and keeps coming up with images like this from an area many of us consider impoverished.
