Oregon Beaches and Whale Watching

Southern Oregon Beaches are located on the coastal plain of the Pacific Ocean. On the Southern Oregon coast we have a marine climate. The Pacific Ocean currents keep temperatures the warmest in the state during the winter, seldom below freezing with snow being rare on the Southern Oregon Coast. Winter here starts in late December and it is Spring again by mid February. Rainfall is high on the coast keeping the Coastal Rain Forest green year around. Even though we are likely to get 80 inches of rain or more per year here it seems like a lot less. Most rainstorms start as the sun sets and are finished by sunrise, however some large rain events will start at sunrise and continue to the next sunrise. It almost never rains a little bit. Rain falls at high rates for short times to be followed by glorious weather. That’s how it is on the coast. We get almost no rainfall in the summer months, June-July-Aug.-Sept.
