About Bastendorff Beach
Bastendorff Beach, just outside Coos Bay, is the South Coast's most reliable surf spot. The beach break benefits from the partial shelter of Cape Arago and the jetty system, which helps organize the swell into more consistent peaks than the fully exposed beaches to the north. The wave is punchy and fun, with sandbars that shift but generally produce good shape. The setting is rugged and beautiful—forested hills, sea stacks, and almost nobody out. South Coast Oregon is one of the emptiest lineups in the lower 48.
