Weather and Clothing
Weather in coastal Oregon in August is warm and lovely - daytime temps averaging around 86 degrees with lows of 55 at night. Bringing layers to account for being out in various temperatures is recommended. While there is not a high chance of rain, it’s always good to be prepared, and because we’ll be photographing near the water/rocks, bringing a rain or waterproof cover for your camera and lens is wise. Please make sure to stay hydrated, drinking water throughout the day as well as the night.
We also highly recommend waders or river sandals with neoprene socks for photographing along the edge of the water.
