weather on the oregon coast in the springtime can go from 70 and sunny to rain blowing sideways in about 5 minutes, but i believe it might be the prettiest time of year. while the summer is definitely the peak season, i prefer coming earlier in the year when the skies can be dark and stormy and the waves crash into the shore without abandon.
