Cannon Beach Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Cannon Beach in Mainland, Alaska is an exposed beach break with inconsistent surf that works best when a west-southwest swell combines with offshore winds from the northeast. It receives a mix of windswells and groundswells, producing both left and right-breaking waves. While summer can offer favorable conditions, the most consistent clean surf typically occurs in winter, especially in February. The remote location keeps crowds away, but surfers should be cautious of dangerous rips.
