More Depot Bay Spout!

We headed south today around 11:45 in hopes of seeing the Depot Bay Spout.  No rain, overcast but splices of sun, warmish. :)

The boys enjoy watching the spout and getting sprayed!
Just high tides and good waves are not enough, timing, direction of the waves, and the backwash are key.  We missed some huge spouts, but here are a few “normal” ones. :)

Worth the 10 minute drive to Depot Bay from Lincoln City!  Interesting to hear the banter of the boys discussing the tides, pressure, rip tides, lava, full moons and magnetism. Great Times!
