Taft (Siltetz River)

Taft is a river break in North Oregon known for its reliable waves year-round, attracting surfers with both left and right-handers. The best conditions occur with east winds and west swells, though it can get crowded when working well. Surfers should be cautious of strong rips, cold water requiring wetsuits, and the presence of sharks. While beginner-friendly, the hazards make it a 2/5-rated spot.
