Surf Newport The Box

Newport The Box - Newport, Oregon The Box features fast, hollow waves breaking both right and left over a sandy bottom. This breakwater/jetty setup is best surfed at low and mid tide, with optimal conditions during rising and falling tides. Access is straightforward, with instant access (<5 min) from the south beach area. Located near the south jetty, The Box is a favored spot for both locals and visitors, especially during summer when crowds swell.
