7. What is the weather going to be in two months? This part of the Oregon Coast is a temperate rainforest.  Weather forecasts more than 1 or 2 days out are unreliable. We suggest checking out the weather forecast from previous years to determine the weather. We typically have great blue skies from May-Sept.
