About Seaside Point

Seaside Point, also known as The Cove, is a fast, hollow right-hand point break at the south end of the Seaside Promenade. The wave wraps around a rocky headland and produces barreling sections that can rival any point break on the West Coast when conditions align. It needs a solid northwest swell and clean conditions to really turn on, but when it does, this is one of the best waves in Oregon. The town of Seaside provides easy access to food, coffee, and lodging.
