Huge Wave Explosions! Shore Acres Storm Watching Oregon Coast
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2018
- Shore Acres State Park is easily the best storm watching spot on the Oregon Coast and may just be one of the best spots in the world! The HUGE waves and resulting spectacular towering fountains of water (300'+) can be seen both north & south from many spots within the park. And, if you are lucky, you may get a glimpse of King Neptune or Poseidon, @1:20 in the video. Watching the waves crash in can be mesmerizing! If this sort of stuff is your cup of tea, 11 minutes is not enough! If you feel that all the waves look the same, skip to 8:00 in the video and watch from there.

For anyone watching this and thinking it's enhanced somehow, my husband and I were there last weekend and there was a phenomenal tidal swell. The waves were exactly this spectacular. Thanks for uploading this.
Mother Nature showing off… in a non destructive manner. It is indeed a spectacular show!
Just Mother Nature showing off in a non destructive manner!
What is this exact location? I’d like to go see these in December. Thank you!!
@@MrBleworchid The park is called Shore Acres State Park. It's about 14 miles south of Coos Bay Oregon. Take hwy 540 (Cape Arago hwy) through Barview, and Charleston. It's best to check the weather and storm surge info for the best waves. But bring rain gear that's fit for high winds. And bring the camera with good dry wipes! And if you're getting hungry and you have a descent amount of money, our FAVORITE restaurant in the area is The Coach House. Steaks seafood and pasta, with the best lemon cream cake you'll ever have. Drive safe!
@@dianatrueblood7109 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and provide all that great info! I heard from another person that the waves have to be like 18’ or higher to get the big explosions like in the video. I’m considering driving over from Eugene next weekend but I’ll research what the waves will be doing before making the trip. Thanks again!!
I asked u-tube for big waves crashing on rocks ... WOW was I in a happy place seeing these magnificent displays of God's creation. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us! 🌺🌴🌅🎆✨
Thank you! You nailed it... Mother Nature displaying her power in a non destructive manner!
Here are a couple more vids you may find of interest.

Fabulous ,I grew up on the Eastcoast of Canada 400 ft from the Atlantic Ocean ,this really brings back great memories of my childhood and teenyears.It's incredible to watch the awesome power of water in all it's glory thank you.
Thank you! And, you hit the nail on the head... the awesome power of water is a sight to behold!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! especially day 3!!And the colour of the actual cliffs /rocks stunning colours!! Wow!!
Mother Nature showing off at her best!
Epic footage! I love the stills ☺Wonderful video. Thank you!
Thank you although Mother Nature is the big star! If u want more wave action I have several other videos up which u may enjoy!
@@Seracdog Thanks, I'll check them out! Blessings 🌼
Lived a few miles south of there on that same coast in Bandon. Miss that place!!!! When I try to tell others about the waves there, it’s impossible to convey.
Thanks for sharing!
Believe me, I know what you mean about telling folks about the waves. As you tell them water from the explosions often exceeds 200’ you get that disbelieving look!
I love the ocean is just so beautiful thanks for share the video . Blessings always
The compliments go to Mother Nature for putting on such a great show!
Just fantastic! Thanks.
Mother Nature putting on a show... best of all, non destructive!
thank you from England I must go there one day soon. I could watch this all day long for days .
I am the same way... in fact, I just returned home from another 4 day trip to Shore Acres. It's a 4 hour drive but worth it. When it comes to genuine entertainment there is nothing quite like a Mother Nature show.
Amazing!. Ur so lucky to have seen it
There is a wave "forecast" on the internet that is quite good. Whenever we hear the local news folks issue a "high surf" advisory we check the wave forecast website. If it appears that an event is imminent we drop whatever we are doing and head for Shore Acres. Again, the event is so infrequent, we if one really wants to see Mother Nature put on a spectacular non destructive event this one is a must to see! Have you checked out my most recent vid shot this last January? ruclips.net/video/KRRfiaGG83k/видео.html
Absolutely love this place.
I have asked for my ashe's to be thrown in the ocean right there.
It is indeed a very special place! A place where Mother Nature can show off without inflicting any damage.
thanks for that video!! just amazing to watch!!
The wave explosions are just mesmerizing! Every time we get wind that Mother Nature is going to perform we head to Shore Acres. One of the best free shows on the planet!
@@Seracdog it´s nice that you share this amazing thing with the world - btw in a great quality! - hopefully one day i get to visit this place myself and see and FEEL it in real. have a great day!
Unfortunately, this show happens just a few times a year. When we hear that a show is possibly coming, we literally drop what we are doing and head to Shore Acres!
@@Seracdog you are very lucky to have that opportunity! enjoy!! :)
Shore Àcres is great for or this kind of wave action,but to the Indian Sands area in the Samuel Boardman Corridor is just as spectacular.
Wow! I will have to check it out!
Where's that?
Fabulous!
Its amazing that the force is held at bay and doesn't just slowly eat at the coast and consume everything.
Well, I think that is happening, it just may take a little more time
@@Seracdog I realize its essentially what's happening, I'm just saying that its amazing there is no real observable ongoing damage with such great forces at work.
So Beautiful !!! Thanks for sharing
Mother Nature has a way of making us all realize that she is the boss!
incredible! thank you!
It’s an incredible site when Mother Nature decides to put on a show!
Nice work, thanks for sharing!
This was just too cool not share with folks!
What is interesting is that Lake Superior can get just as angry as the ocean. There has been so many shipwrecks on that lake the most famous incident being the Edmund Fitzgerald. It is just interesting how similar the great lakes are to the ocean.
Would love to see some Lake Superior vids! Have many Michigan friend here in Oregon
@@Seracdog I could send you some clips.

WOW! AMAZING to watch. Thank you so much for this video.❤️❤️❤️
All the credit goes to Mother Nature!
Kids used to love to get all bundled up and drive down from cops bay and watch the fireworks. Great fun
I think it's the best place on the Pacific Coast to watch good storm wave action!
@@Seracdog lived there 5 years.
Excellent!
Thank you!
Just shared your amazing moments caught on film with a friend & he showed me how to keep the snapshot on my new phone!!! I'm thrilled. Thank you for sharing - stunning!!! Love and blessings from a California Gramma ❤
Thank you so much! We are anxiously awaiting another Shore Acres wave show. Mother Mature has been too busy doing other things… we have only had a couple shows in the last three months.
Beautiful
Try and catch "the show" sometime it is incredible
Incredible..
Yes indeed. I have seen many "man made" shows and none of them compare to the shows at Shore Acres!
Beautiful and scary all at once! ❤
It's quite a sight! mother Nature showing off in s NON destructive manner...very cool!
Amazing ❤
Good old Mother Nature showing off in a non destructive way!
Agreed!
WOW!!! UFB!! Gotta go when we go up in May--
Mother Nature showing off! Unfortunately, she only "performs" sporadically a few times a year.
Amazing
Mother Nature at her finest!
Just moved to Oregon a hour east of the coast and freaking enjoy every minute of it. Great shots of the crashing waves.. I've seen people get really dumb at times by getting too close.
Getting too close... we saw a number of folks trying to get the classic "RUclips," we almost died kind of shot! Their actions took stupidity to a new level!
@@Seracdog ....darwin award winners.......almost
@@randellgribben9772 LOL... you are right on! Check out this action at the 1:13 in this vid!
Check out this action at the 1:13 mark in this vid!
this video is awesome! would it be possible for you to upload just the footage? or is it anywhere available?
Wow!!
Mother Nature flexing her muscles!
awesome , you've got some great shots here, it was difficult to keep the lens clear as the tiny droplets quickly cover the camera , I hope to visit this spectacular theater of nature soon again
Yup! Often, after a big "explosion" you forget to clean the lens!!!
9:43 for the best one. 9:55 still. Amazing how different every wave can be.
The waves are addicting to watch! A few years ago before "discovering" Shore Acres if someone had told me that I would spend more then 20 minutes staring at waves I would have told them they were crazy. So, LSS when Mother Nature is performing, we often spend 4-5 hours watching! What is hard to convey in a video is the sound of the explosions which amplifies the impact. You can literally "feel" them when the hit!
My Grandparents lived just a few miles from there on the bay where empire was. I have photo's they took in the 1940's and on and that my Dad has taken and that even I have taken all covering a huge time span..... Reflecting on that and comparing them what I find amazing is how resistant the rock and cliffs there are to the power delivered by the waves such as this year after year... While there are some changes over the 80 plus years they are far smaller then one would expect... Although I would expect sea level rise to start speeding up that process at some point. I also remember those rickety wooden stairs down some of those cliffs that used to be there around 50 years ago. Navigating those at times was a thrill in itself, on calm days of course.
Wow! Special memories for sure!
If you have any old pictures you would care to share of the area and particularly the stairs I would love to see them...
I,m wondering, was it allways this Hugh or does it come every year higher
Yes! It's quite an event when it happens!
is October the best time of year to go?
Unfortunately, we never know when Mother Nature decides to act up! Last season, she only "performed" 6 days! All were either in December or January>
Wow
No one can put on a show quite like Mother Nature!
What time of year is this? December?
This video was taken in December. However, large waves at Shore Acres can occur any time. In fact, there was quite an event this past October (2019)
I would pay for a few hour's fixed camera shot of this with good audio!
If the event happened more then just a few times a year, I could provide you that... no charge! Watching the waves roll in an explode is simply mesmerizing!
@@Seracdog I can (or can't) imagine that. Greetings from France ;)
Gotta go at high tide though. This is important
1:21 who else sees a face in that wave ...a bearded old man blowing
You are definitely right... maybe it’s King Neptune!
Does that fully restored POS have bacon in the glovebox?!
Could someone please tell me the exact location of what’s shown in this video please? I’d love to go there in December to see the king tides. Thank you!!
Shores Acres (where this video was shot) is a state park in Oregon approximately 3 miles from the town of Charleston on the Oregon coast. The large wave explosions ONLY occur during a high surf event. A King Tide is a different kind of event and does not produce any large wave explosions! Unfortunately, the high surf (18’+) needed to generate the wave explosions only happens a handful of days a year, mostly in the Winter. You could get lucky, most of the times I have seen the event has been in December
I was there yesterday, at Shore Acres, for the king tides and there were some amazing waves. Maybe not quite this high but still very high.
@@tulmer73 That’s great, normally a King Tide kind of kills waves at Shores Acres
@@Seracdog what do you mean exactly?
@@Seracdog Thank you! This is very helpful information to have because I was considering driving down from Eugene this coming weekend and was getting my hopes up, but it sounds like King Tides don’t always equate to an amazing show like in this video. If I’m looking at my tide chart app on my phone, how high of a tide generates what’s in this video? Thank you again!
The ocean’s not angry, it’s having fun!! Let’s not be negative about such a glorious sight! I love all of the Lord Jesus’ magnificent Creation ♥️♥️♥️
I think you are dead on right!
Why are you stopping it for
Good question!... reflecting back on when I created it I thought perhaps it would be cool to freeze the explosion. Looking back at it now it looks kind of dumb!
How big would you guess the surf was before it hit the rocks.
I am told the waves were in the 25'+ range. To get the "explosions" waves need to be at least 18'
@@Seracdog That is what I thought, but you can't tell in the video. Perspectives are distorted. Thanks!!!
@@nwdixieboy My brother in law who was born and raised in Hawaii... a body surfing fanatic, later offered command of a nuclear sub during the cold war... upon seeing the waves at Shore Acres says they make his butt pucker up a bit... In other words, he is damn knowledgeable when it comes to the ocean & waves....
No matter what, even if I restart everything this video pauses at 0:37. Is anybody else having this problem let me know. The video seems to be very cool though!
Edit: its working!
Wow! Not sure what may be going on, but have you tried a different computer, iPhone, phone iPad, etc.?
@@Seracdog oh and thx for the reply!
no pausing for me
Al are you going to be there this weekend. I believe is calling out for a high tide? Let me know.
No! A high tide does not necessarily translate into a wave explosion show, what is needed to produce the giant explosions is high surf (18'+) and the surf is not forecast to be very high.
@@Seracdog Great Im glad I asked you....thank you I will postponed it. please keep me in the loop and thanks again.
A few years ago a King Tide and a High Surf hit together and it was a great show.
If the tide is too high, then the "splash rock" is mostly under water and the swell just mows over the rock... resulting in no explosion.
Generally the best wave explosions occur with high surf 18'+ at mid tide.
Keep tracking the surf at surf-forecast.com
Region: Oregon South Beach: Bastendorf Beach
Thanks for the constructive explanation.....it makes sense. =)
it's a god idea swim in this place?
Isn’t December in Oregon winter? Well that’s the answer isn’t it Pacific Ocean in winter …..
Yeah at 1.22. I noticed a face too.
Not sure if that's Neptune or Mother Nature.... kinda of fun!
@@Seracdog But very nice vdo indeed. Very big waves.
@@yoyovlogs7755 If you really like the big wave explosions I have three other videos up all taken at different times of the year.
@@Seracdog I think I have seen all of them. The angry Pacific, monster waves etc
As you can no doubt tell, I am addicted to the waves!
Spectacular "ocean wave" video ..I just moved here this June, 2019 and live close to this park now. and saw this awe inspiring, tremendous moving - sceenery, in REAL life Thurs evening about 5:30pm Oct 17th . I know a song by Elton John matches perfectly to your wave action video. Try it with youtube music Elton john "Can you feel the love tonight". Turn sound off your video and start play same time on Elton Johns' song. It is very-very moving.
I was there too! In fact we arrived at the park around 10:30 AM and watched the waves until about 5PM! They kept building up as the day on! Best free show of it's kind anywhere!
1:22 anyone notice the face?
Poseidon or Neptune... what do you thinK?
It would have been better to watch this without having to hear people talk.
That would be nice but unfortunately we can't shut every body up!
@@Seracdog I went out to a very scenic site that took me hours to drive to. It is a breathtaking view of rolling mountains with multi-colored trees in Autumn. When I got there I saw an amateur photo shoot. They were being obnoxious and loud totally ruining the vibe. Nature is to be enjoyed in peace. I told them to shut up. They stopped until I was gone. This is why I like to go to nature alone or with someone who doesn't jibber jabber, like a guy not another girl. Lol
I get it! I know exactly what you are talking about! There is an area in Arizona that is simply called The Wave... North Coyote Buttes. Fortunately, it is strictly monitored (entry by permit only) by the BLM and only 20 people a day are allowed to visit the area... thousands apply each day. It's a three mile hike to the The Wave and when I reached it the first time I felt like I was visiting Mother Natures Cathedral... I felt it was disrespectful to talk! There were some folks there from Europe yucking it up and I gave them a piece of my mind...
