Ocean Shores/North Beach Weather Ocean Shores features a marine climate with cool and comparatively dry summers and mild but relatively wet winters. As is typical in a marine environment, brisk ocean breezes are common. It is not uncommon to have 1" to 3" of rainfall accumulate in a short period of time during the winter months. The average annual rainfall for past 8 years is 67.8". Mid-year temperatures (daytime) average between 62 to 65 degrees. Seldom do temperatures dip to freezing and we rarely see snow. The Washington coast has a very moderate climate that is almost identical to the Oregon Coast. Most people who frequent this stretch of coast are surprised to find that we have a lot of sunshine when the metropolitan areas two hours to the east are cloudy. The coast offers more sun breaks than the Seattle/Portland area because weather systems are able to move through more quickly since they are not blocked by the cascade mountain range. |
