Here is a good site to bookmark. It loads reasonably fast. It has a few
of the better Oregon surf cams on the menu:

There was some good shots from Brandon today at 65 knots.

I think that's Bandon, not Brandon. Sorry.

Was a real fierce one when the low finally hit here today. The ferry
from Vancouver Island to the Mainland took 8 hrs instead of 1.5, while
the ferry tried to negotiate the wind and waves. The captain finally had
to ballast all the heavier trucks to one side of the Super-ferry, in
order to crawl into Horsehoe Bay. What a day. My buddies were out
surfing. One of them got smacked bad by driftwood. I had to work, though
the Isobar gradient sent most of the sustained stuff to the east side of
Georgia Strait. Anyone from Seattle make it out paddling in the wind, or
ya' all out on the rivers being more normal like Kevin?
