The Lighthouse parking lot and South Jetty in Bandon are popular areas to watch this amazing phenomena. Local folks line up at the South Jetty in their cars to see this happen every year. Even after the storms, the ocean waves continue to put on a show, giving you a chance to be outside to take pictures of the surf washing foam and logs onto the South Jetty parking lot. If you have enjoyed Bandon in the summer months, then prepare yourself for a different king of enjoyment in the winter. It should be noted that Bandon also has sunny days during the winter months, after all, this is when the sunsets are at their best.
Beach combing is great as well.
So, if storm watching spins your propeller, and it will, why not give it a try. Naturally, storm watching times can't be predicted, but watching the Weather Channel or following online weather web sites can be of some help.
