Alec Graves, a North Carolina native, has been surfing for 14 years and says he enjoys the particular challenge posed by waves in the Pacific Northwest. on the 15-minute drive Cape Arago down Highway.

Graves talks about the local surfing culture, how people surf, why he likes surfing, techniques, tactics. His understanding is assuring, especially considering I’m going out to an activity I could potentially die doing, or even worse, lose my $350 deposit.

The whole way to Bastendorff he keeps ribbing me about the sharks.

He thinks it’s hilarious. I

don’t.

I question him, what if the waves are bad? What can he do about fickle waves? Does he really just zing up and down the coast hoping for the best?

“There’s always something out there, sometimes it’s just not the prettiest,” Graves says, then launches into an analogy that is on-point.

“It’s like fishing. You go out and hope for the best.

If there’s no fish, there’s no fish. If there’s no waves,

there’s no waves. Either way you get to be out there enjoying yourself. The waves just turn into a bonus.”

Graves says the earlier waves up in Winchester were good, but he is curious about how Bastendorff will serve a beginner like me, so he bites the bullet.

Once we drive up to the cliff at the beach, the scenery is the personification of muggy. The air is cold. The clouds are dark.

Rain dimples most of the

still saltwater.

Graves pops out of his Tundra so excited that he almost forgets to put the truck in park. He springs up to the edge of the cliff, stares out to the Pacific with his belly button a foot away from the rail and then leers back to me with his hand pointed at the ocean.

“Oh yeah,” he says through a smile. “This is perfect.”

the other group will take the South Cape trail to South Beach then continue south crossing the Elk River (knee to waist deep) and end at Paradise Point.

Those planning on the hike to Paradise Point will need to come 30 minutes early and meet at intersection of U.S. Highway 101 and Cape Blanco Road.

The short hike is 4 miles and is easy to moderate with some relatively steep climbs and sand walking. The longer hike is 8-plus miles and involves a shuttle set up, fast water river crossing and some walking in rough terrain.

PORT ORFORD — South Coast Striders will hike the Sixes River trail to Cape Blanco on Saturday, July 5. Those interested should meet at 9 a.m. at the Sixes River trailhead behind the Hughes House for the start of both the long and short hikes.

The group will hike out to the mouth of the Sixes River on the Sixes River trail then travel south along the beach toward the lighthouse road, where one group will combine the North Cape trail and the Hughes House trail and wind along the coast back down to the trailhead, and

SURF Graves surfs twice a week Continued from Page 6 The tide is high, which is apparently a good thing for teaching me during my first time surfing.

Bastendorff is notorious for a small swell on summer days and when Graves checks the buoy forecast on his iPhone, it’s perfect for a newb like me.

My experience surfing in general was perfectly fine. I stood up on a few waves, but I never could cut inside the swell and generate more speed, so I always fizzled out too early to really understand the feeling.

The one thing that is clear is that there’s a reason you don’t see too many fat surfers. It’s exhausting.

Muscles I didn’t know I had are still sore.

(The water we were in never exceeded 4 feet. If there were sharks in there, they might’ve had pacifiers in their mouths.)

The appeal is really being out in nature. There are no winners or losers.

There’s no timetable. It’s a sport with no competition factor, just whether or not you can get on top of the wave.

I can’t imagine anyone not getting discouraged with surfing on their first day, but frustration is just part of the learning process.

The first time Graves surfed he was 9 years old and borrowed one of his dad’s friends’ boards on Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina. He tried it out for a half-hour by himself, got frustrated and went back in. It took him about two years to get back on the swell, but the challenge seemed to work out.

Out at Bastendorff, I try and catch every single wave possible and come off spastic.

Graves is patient. He straddles the board with his calves hanging underwater as he watches out to the Pacific, calmly waiting for the next wave.

“When you get a big wave,” Graves says. “It’s like getting that big fish.”

Graves doesn’t plan to stay in the Bay Area forever.

He’s working towards studying Engineering at Oregon State University.

He’ll just make the hourlong trek to the waves in Florence at least twice a week, just like he does here.

As for the culture, he keeps his lips tight on new spots.

“I can’t be giving up spots like that,” Graves says when I ask him where the best place to surf in the Bay Area is. “People in Oregon like empty lineups (fewer surfers) and most want to keep it that way.”

In the meantime, he prefers the culture being condensed to the lifers and doesn’t see a practical way to drive interest anyway.

He says — and I agree with

him — that the only way to fix it “if the water’s warm and pretty girls are on the beach in bikinis.”

But Graves still goes out — sometimes twice in a day — to do an activity that, if conditions are ideal, he can ride in 60second intervals.

After a full day of poking and prodding for what the appeal of surfing is to him, especially somewhere less desirable like Coos Bay, he finally manages to get it out.

It’s hard explaining something that incomparable.

“It’s about working with the ocean’s power,” Graves says. “You don’t have control out there all the time, but when you can work with the power of the ocean and start gliding it’s just the most awesome feeling. When you harness that power, the experience turns it into this beautiful thing that you really can’t describe.

“There’s just nothing like it.”

OUTDOORS D I G E S T Health advisory issued for water at Harris Beach State Park BROOKINGS — Public health advisories were issued June 26 because of higherthan-normal levels of bacteria in ocean waters at Harris Beach State Park and Mill Beach, both located in Curry County.

Water samples indicate higher-than-normal levels of fecal bacteria, which can result in diarrhea, stomach cramps, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. Direct contact with the surf or water running into the surf in this area should be avoided until the advisory is lifted, especially for children and the elderly, who may be more vulnerable to waterborne bacteria.

Increased pathogen and fecal bacteria levels in ocean waters can come from both shore and inland sources, such as storm water runoff, sewer overflows, failing septic systems, and animal waste from livestock, pets and wildlife.

While this advisory is in effect at Harris Beach State Park Beach and Mill Beach, visitors should avoid wading in nearby creeks, pools of water on the beach, or in discolored water, and stay clear of water runoff flowing into the ocean. Even if there is no advisory in effect, officials recommend avoiding swimming in the ocean within 48 hours after a rainstorm.

The status of water contact advisories at beaches is subject to change. For the most recent information on advisories, visit the Oregon Beach Monitoring Program website or call 971-673-0400, or 877-290-6767 toll-free.

Although state officials advise against water contact, they continue to encourage other recreational activities (flying kites, picnicking, playing on the beach, walking, etc.) on these beaches because they pose no health risk even during an advisory.

Neighboring beaches are not affected by this advisory.

Central coast halibut fishing closes NEWPORT — Excellent weather and hungry halibut combined last weekend to approach the quota for the spring all-depth Pacific halibut fishery. Fishery managers have closed the fishery until Aug. 1, when the summer all-depth fishery opens.

“Last weekend the halibut fishing was excellent,” said Lynn Mattes, ODFW’s project leader for halibut. “The weather allowed a lot of folks the opportunity to fish and many of them were successful.”

With the closure, halibut anglers will turn their attention to the popular central coast nearshore fishery that opened July 1, seven days a week inside the 40-fathom regulatory line. This fishery will remain open until the 22,274-pound quota is reached or until Oct. 31, whichever comes first.

The spring all-depth Pacific halibut fishery for the central coast subarea (from Cape Falcon south to Humbug Mountain) was open 12 days over four different periods, resulting in the harvest of approximately 113,000 pounds of Pacific halibut.

The summer all-depth fishery will open Aug. 1 with a quota of approximately 46,000 pounds. The summer season for the central coast all-depth fishery is scheduled to be open every other Friday and Saturday until the all-depth quota is taken or Oct. 31, whichever comes first.

Fishing for halibut on the north coast (from Leadbetter Point, Wash., to Cape Falcon) is open at all depths Thursday through Sunday and inside the 40-fathom line on days the all-depth fishery is not open until quotas are taken.

On the South Coast (south of Humbug Mountain) the halibut fishery is open through Oct. 31 or until the quota is taken.

FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout, warmwater fish With warmer water temperatures in the area lakes, trout fishing will be best in the early mornings. Trout will most likely be near the deeper water.

Fishing for largemouth bass and bluegills will be best during the mornings and late evenings. Look to find bass and bluegills near cover like weedlines or submerged logs. Summer time is a good time to catch largemouth bass on topwater lures. Small jigs or a worm fished under a bobber are good ways to catch bluegills.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, rockfish, sturgeon Trout season is open in the Coos Basin rivers. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Sturgeon fishing is open in the Coos Basin for catch-and-release, any size.

Crabbing in Coos Bay continues to be fairly slow.

ODFW and OSU researchers, hundreds of red rock crab have been tagged with a small blue “floy tag” in Charleston to gain an understanding of their growth, age, movement, population size, and fishery. Red rock crab are native to Oregon and are found in only a few Oregon estuaries. Report tagged red rock crab to ODFW Charleston, 541-888-5515.

Clamming is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway, and Clam Island. There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. For more information on Shellfish Assessment of Coastal Oregon check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates.

Coquille River Basin: trout, smallmouth bass, crabbing Trout season is open. Anglers are having good success fishing the large to medium-size streams for cutthroat trout.

Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Anglers are catching a few smallmouth bass in the mainstem and South Fork..

Sturgeon fishing is open for catchand-release, any size L o o n L a k e : rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake provides good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, trout Yellow perc h are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm. The best fishing will be in over 10 feet of water and along weedlines. Some of the keeper yellow perch are over 12 inches long.

Largemouth bass fishing has been good between deep water and shallow water with cover like submerged logs or vegetation. Crankbaits and plastics like senkos or brushhogs have been working.

Early mornings and late evenings are a good time to throw topwater lures.

Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes continues to be good around deep water in the early mornings and evenings. Anglers are having the best success trolling wedding rings or other types of spinners tipped with bait. Fish tagged next to the dorsal fin with 2-inch blue numbered tag should be reported to Ringo’s Lakeside Marina.

East Boat Basin and marker 12 above the East Boat Basin. Salmon have moved inshore. Ocean fishing is now open for Chinook and fin-clipped coho.

HUNTING Cougar hunting is open.

Coyote hunting is open.

REMINDER: Wolves and coyotes can look alike.

Wolves are protected by state and/or federal law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. Report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to ODFW using the online reporting system.

YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Sea bird numbers are high along the Oregon coast this time of year. Many birds are here to nest and brood young, others are here to feed on fish and other forage that moves close to shore in the summer months. Nesting are common murres and cormorants (three species). The best place to see the birds that are here for nesting would be near rocky headlands and off-shore islands. Coquille Point in Bandon is a great place to find both of these habitats. The number of common murres, pigeon guillemots, cormorants and other nesting sea birds is impressive there.
