Clean, lined up cordorary swell on the other hand is an event that is special and occurs on a far less regular basis. For example, last years Nelscott contest almost never happened and not because of lack of size. It was ricktor huge all last winter, but was ugly storm surf with strong south to west winds. Forse did eventually run the contest after the original time window expired, and it was done in substandard conditions when compared to the perfection scale that most veteran big-wave surfers use.
In other words, don't get to excited when National Weather Service and WAM models are calling for 15' plus surf around here when we are in a progressive weather pattern with storm fronts.

| Just north of Newport there is a State park called beverly beach. Hot showers and next to the beach with an old growth feeling forest to camp in. Also has free coffee and tea, bonus! If its big its a place worth checking out, no guaranties though. There are some islands off shore there that reduce the swell height in the area and make it easier to get out to the big stuff just down wind if thats what your looking for. It can also, be done as the beggining of a short down wind-er to the pull off near the north side of newport.
