Moolack Beach is a rugged, scenic stretch of Oregon coastline located just north of Newport, offering punchy beach break waves that respond well to northwest swells funneled down the Pacific. The beach's ESE-facing transect means offshore winds typically blow from the east, grooming the surf into clean, rideable peaks that reward surfers willing to brave Oregon's cold waters. This relatively uncrowded spot embodies the raw, wild spirit of Oregon surfing, with consistent fall swells delivering some of the best waves of the year.
