Wave heights up to 37 feet were recorded at buoys off the coast, with top one-tenth wave heights up to 45 feet.
• Debris Flow and Flooding in Oregon, January 10 to 16, 20211 death · 1 injured · $46,000 · 70 kt wind · 29 eventsA series of slow moving fronts brought periods of heavy rain along with strong winds. This resulted in high surf; coastal, river and urban flooding; landslides; and debris flows.
• Coastal Flood in Oregon, December 3, 2007$18 million · 4 eventsTwo very powerful storms with origins in the Tropics brought hazardous weather to the Pacific Northwest. Each storm moved over the coastal Pacific waters in quick succession, and were unusually strong. With the stronger winds, seas built to heights of 44 to 48 feet.
• Coastal Flood in Oregon, December 10 to 11, 2015$4.4 million · 2 eventsHigh rivers from heavy rain combined with large surf and extremely high tides resulted in coastal flooding for the North Oregon Coast.

• Coastal Flood in Oregon, October 15, 20161 eventThe combination of heavy rain, large swell, and high tides brought minor tidal overflow flooding during high tides to the North Oregon Coast.
• Coastal Flood in Oregon, February 9, 20171 eventHigh river flows combined with high tide to flood some areas near the southern Oregon coast.
• Coastal Flood in Oregon, November 15, 20201 eventStrong south winds, large surf, and high astronomical tides resulted in tidal overflow.
• Coastal Flood in Oregon, November 17, 20201 eventA deep low pressure system off the Washington coast brought strong southerly winds and large waves resulting in tidal overflow.
• Coastal Flood in Oregon, November 4 to 6, 20211 eventHigh astronomical tides combined with elevated river levels lead to minor tidal over flow.
• Coastal Flood in Oregon, October 25, 20211 eventA deep low pressure system offshore brought high southerly winds and generated large seas resulting in high surf and tidal overflow.
