The spot faces nearly due west, picking up abundant northwest swell energy that produces punchy, hollow peaks best suited for intermediate and experienced surfers. What makes Agate Beach unique is its wild, uncrowded atmosphere backed by dramatic Oregon headlands, where cold water, moody skies, and raw surf create an unforgettable Pacific Northwest experience.
