About Port Orford
Port Orford, the westernmost city in Oregon, offers several reef and beach breaks around Battle Rock and Hubbard Creek. The area picks up an enormous amount of swell exposure, and on smaller days the reef setups produce clean, organized waves. The town itself is small, rugged, and authentic—a fishing village with no pretense. The coast here is raw and powerful, with dramatic sea stacks and blow holes. This is frontier surfing—cold, remote, and rewarding for those willing to explore.
