Surf in Lincoln City

Hey everyone, I was just in the Lincoln City area for 4 days earlier this month.

I’m from Orange County in California and had I not been injured I would’ve been out surfing all day. If this spot was in SoCal there would be a hundred people on it, not even exaggerating.

Are the waves this fun often in this part of the coast? I also got super lucky and it was strangely sunny and warm most of the time I was in town. I’m assuming this not typical for January in coastal Oregon.
