Nelscott Reef
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nelscott Reef is an ocean reef near Lincoln City, Oregon, United States that creates a reef break (where waves spill over to create whitewater) that is known as the only place on the Oregon Coast with the right conditions for tow-in surfing. It is named for the former community of Nelscott, which is now a part of Lincoln City.
The reef is the home of the Nelscott Reef Tow-In Classic. Nelscott Reef is the only spot on the Oregon coast to consistently produce double overhead waves, thus the event brings in big name surfers, such as Peter Mel and Adam Replogle.[1][2] Before 2003 no one had been able to paddle out in this region due to the shallow water and undertow.
