Social Security Beach

Social Security Beach is a WSW-facing beach break in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States. It picks up swell from S to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 38% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
