Oregon Coast 33 Umpqua South Jetty
With the incoming ocean swells perpetually running between 6 and 20 feet meeting a rushing outgoing tidal flow, Oregon coastal river mouths are notoriously dangerous. In the calm summer months, the small boat salmon fishermen cluster just outside the jetty on an incoming tide and rush back in before it turns. The Coast Guard rescue boats are designed to roll, turtle, and self right. And regularly DO!
