About Columbia River Bar

Columbia River Bar is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Oregon and Washington. SeaStatus lists 20 or more ramps that launch into it, the closest being East Mooring Basin at 0.0 mi.

Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 9439040, ASTORIA (Tongue Point), Oreg., the closest one to here.
