Came across this pic on Magic Seaweed...
Kinda grabbed me...
Not the friendliest wave I've seen...
I can imagine Yosemite Sam...
Pulling in and hooting...
The things almost cartoonish...
Gaping, throwing, spinning...

Heard a few reports from aquaintances that indicate general slop with some moments of clarity...sideways rain spitting pellets into hollow, mind bending vortexes...massive swells wrapping into harbors to detonate onto more friendly sand spits...but mostly disorganized swirling currents and howling winds disrupting any chance of surf in Oregon.
