Cannon Beach Elk Dodge the Dangerous Surf

- The largest king tide since 1967 was happening January 10, 2021 at Cannon Beach Oregon. From my hotel deck, I watched this herd of elk observing the surf patterns. In between wave surges, the lead elk took off onto the beach and the rest of the herd followed. They made it further down the beach where they were momentarily pinned between the Ecola River and the tidal surge. They finally found a way back to high ground and all survived the event. Some may think the herd was spooked by people and that forced them to make the dangerous move onto the beach. They were not. I watched this herd for a 1/2 hour as they scouted and waited for the right moment to go on the beach. All of the people observing were doing so from a safe and respectful distance on their hotel decks. Only once the herd moved onto the beach, did we all come out to see where they were going.

These elk are pretty smart. What ever their reason for going onto the beach, they timed it just right. And they did so after 1/2 hour of observing and studying the surf patterns. The end of this video shows the dangerous surf that they just barely escaped.
King Tides can produce extremely dangerous hydraulic conditions. While the elk seemed to figure it out, the wave surge patterns are very unpredictable. People die every year in these events by not respecting the dynamic and forceful nature of tidal surges like these. But they are beautiful and majestic, so keep a safe distance and enjoy the show!
They instinctively knew to cross NOW...I've been to Cannon Beach, truly a magical place, just beautiful !
God created everything to be insink with each other
How beautiful seeing the herd of Elk! Now that’s a once in a lifetime event!
Not if one lives on the Oregon Coast! They grace us with their presence in Gearhart OR, passing through our backyard and sometimes hanging out to mow our lawn 🤗
You see them often out that way. What is unique is th beach and sea
Wow! I think I heard the first one say "Its now or never!"
Did you see them bucking? And the little one turning and ran toward it for a sec... just like kids do. Lol. They like the beach.
Just like a surfer would do paddle out between sets ! See how they watched and waited for the right time? Elkgroms !
Talk about timing! I spent Summers on the Oregon Coast and know that area; pretty exciting to see the Elk herds.
That was beautiful but scary to see...so happy they made it safe 🙏🏽❤️ thanks for sharing ❤️☺️
One almost turned back. So glad they all made it. Phew, I can breath now 😍
Thanks for sharing this. And for sharing that they all made it safely out of there. I never knew they went on the beach.
You can see that rip tide take over the beach after the herd passed! We rode our horses at OR beaches, it was a dream come true.
We lived in warrenton Oregon and saw lots of elk. You can see elk everyday in this area.
This is incredible footage!! Excellent job. I'm saving this one.
😍 lovely share🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
That’s one pissed off looking ocean!!
That one pausing had me thinking he may turn back. The scamper to catch up was well timed...
oohhh, so glad they made it!!
Nice video...the hotel must see them yearly tho. I don't think it was there first time. Animals learn from previous experiences just like we do
It becomes instinctual over hundreds of years, beware to those who build in their path!!!
We are supposed to have snow flurries this weekend. They
Can feel the wind shift and cooler temperatures. Maybe the feel a sense of urgency to get to a dryer, protected place
It looks like several were frolicking as they first went out onto the beach (a couple of bucks crow-hopping starting at 1:42). Obviously something they enjoy doing, though perhaps with the houses there they cut it a little close getting off the beach when the tide swept through. Humans are definitely not the only animals to experience joy. What a cool experience!
looked like it was a Doe ( or female) that was leading them, even yelled " lets go" when she took off.
Elk are bulls and cows by gender, and a herd like this always has a lead cow calling the shots. She’s the matriarch of the herd, and where she goes the rest follow...
@@larrybeavens7580 Thanks, we do not have elk where I live . I was right though on the leader of the herd.
This Cannon Beach herd on the Oregon coast is an anomaly. Elk are normally a reclusive animal, preferring wild and rugged terrain where humans won’t bother them. They’re smart, tough animals to hunt. But I’m an old man, and this herd around Cannon Beach has been there for as long as I can remember. They have habitat they like that is close to the beach and they’ve learned to cohabitate with and tolerate the local human population. And for whatever reason, they love to get out and romp on the beach, often in the surf. Years ago I was there and went down early one morning for a walk on the beach. This herd came romping along in the surf, passed within yards of me and paid me no mind whatsoever. One of my favorite memories; I think of it often. For tourists that are lucky enough to see them, I’m sure it’s an experience they will never forget...
@@larrybeavens7580 That must have been something awesome walking on the beach when the elk came by, I can visualize that happening in my head. Thanks for the image.
@@waterbug85 It was a magical moment, for sure. It was very early; I was the only one on the beach that I could see. I saw them coming from quite a ways off, so I just stood perfectly still and watched in awe as they thundered by me. They were in the surf, and I was close enough that they splashed water on me as they went by. There are some things in life you never forget, and for me that moment is near the top of the list.
You could see them leaping and frolicking in the surf. They were having a blast! They probably waited all year for this King Tide.
Glad they made it safely
Animals have all their proper instincts going on, which, I believe, we have lost a lot of. We now rely on "info" so much.
I spent a long time sailing on a very basic yacht round the world and I think our instincts come back if we remove electricity and other modern stimuli from our lives. If all you have is a desert and sandstone you will be a champion at pyramids I suspect.
@@George.Andrews. Heh, I also believe what you've pointed out to be correct, up to a point. I mean, a surfer on a surfboard, zooming down the front of a huge wave, (which is what I currently see in my suggestions) has a direct connection with the nature of that wave, and Shirley various instincts come into play. But like your sailing skills and knowledge of the weather and water, it brings you personally closer to nature than the same location would likely do for Miss Higglestone at the office.
That miss Higglestone is a hottie and stop calling me shirley 😂😂😂😂
@@George.Andrews. 😁
@@wordreet lots of good stuff on your channel. You can't beat Brian Blessed swearing.
Wow that baby elk made it also.
Nice family of elk.
phew, i was so nervous that hydroflask was gonna get swept away!
It’s my favorite Yeti! I would have been devastated! 🤣🤣🤣
Sksksksksksksk
I would bet that the tide was at it`s lowest possible point. Amazing how they know.
That was very relaxing to watch
Just because the weather is bad, thy still put in the daily run on the beach.
being in wyoming elk do weird things that just tip top of my list of weird elk. being by the ocean tho they know where why what . and leave us 2 leggers scratchin our brain buckets =} i wish i was in Brookings right now...
amazing!
Elk can swim, but they don’t like moving water.
They are thinking 🤔 what to do NEXT
sneaker wave too
Front row seat for when a tsunami hits.
Cool!!
“Locals” being......... locals ❤️🙂
Those elk see humans all the time and thay are not spooked by people with cell phones thay do whatever thay want
Sad they were so scared.. We were having King Tides.. They were getting cut off from the land and confused between the high tide and the people
they wernt scared at all they were waiting for the lead cow to go she knows what shes doing this isnt there first rodeo
Amazing how the animals in nature everything that God created is in sync with each other
Is this at Schooners Cove? We lived in Gearhart, just north of CB for a while. Love king tide season and miss having the Elk in our yard.
Yes! Schooner's Cove.
We live in Gearhart too and Elks grace us with their presence passing through our backyard and at times even hanging out to mow our lawn! Have they stop going into yours?
A few inches of surf is not dangerous to these Elk they have lived their entire life on that area.
Is this normal to have the waves slammed on your back door?
I could smell the salty air
Anyone in Cannon Beach...
Question; why the iratic syrf?
That seems odd to this Oregonian...
King tide 🌊💦🌊
Que font ils au bord de mer ? Au lieu d être dans la forêt ?
Les Wapiti sont natifs de la région et donc ils se promènent partout! On vit juste au Nord de Cannon Beach sur la Côte et ils viennent nous rendre visite en traversant dans notre cour arrière et parfois même tonde notre notre gazon 🤗
what hotel is this?
😡They were lost & confused! The elder Elk was showing the young Elks the lay of the land. The last time they came through their territory, the structures built by humans weren’t there!😡
This is actually not true, these Elk are a resident herd that migrates through this area all the time and these hotels are by no means new, they are not lost they are exactly where they mean to be. The elk are respected and valued in these communities as a resource and species to respect
The level of human encroachment, and the consequence ... is sad. A bit of luck, and a bit of instinct were involved I suspect.
TONIGHT's MENU: Fresh, really fresh ELK steaks.
:28 "Just... go!"
“Take me to your leader”, PLEASE?!
Is it possible to add the intervention of elk in a HEC-RAS 6.0 hydraulic simulation?
What is the n value for elk? :-)
elk is some good eats
Schooner's Inn
Which hotel was this filmed at...
Schooner’s Inn.
?can would an animal drink salty sea water?
Nice footage you have,after salt?
"Thank you God"
does anyone know which hotel is it
Schooner's Inn at Cannon Beach
Maybe they saw coyotes or bear or cougar
The ree ree's be like " this is global warming! That tide isn't normal!"
Maybe sensing an event. But that’s weird
Pobres animales el hombre a imbadido su abitad una desgracia.
Why the hell have these elks shaved butts?
It’s a bad omen - they are running away from something
Maybe just making their usual migration after grazing out their previous area? 𐂂
@@spiritmatter1553 Yup, you got it!!
Nah...They're just roaming. We live just North of Cannon Beach and we see them all over the place, even in our backyard mowing our lawn for free, he he! It's all in their instinctive natural ways...
I was Cannon Beach about 5 years ago and there were no elk
The elk roam around the county. If you spent a lot of time there, you would eventually see them.
These Animals are no Elks.
They are Roosevelt Elk.
Wrong timing and they would be serving elk meat in the hotel for dinner.
Pre brined
A whole year's supply.
To bad it's not ELK SEASON..
