About Agate Beach

Agate Beach in Newport is the Central Oregon Coast's most consistent everyday wave. The wide, exposed beach break picks up everything the Pacific throws at it, producing shifting peaks across a long stretch of sand. The wave is powerful and can be heavy, with a lot of water moving in the shorebreak. The name comes from the agates and jasper stones that wash up on the beach. Newport's fishing harbor, aquarium, and restaurant scene make it a great surf-trip basecamp.
