Spouting Horn

Spouting Horn

This interesting rock formation rises from the coastal waters off Central Oregon. There is not much of a beach there, but it doesn't really matter as the important part is indeed the rocks. They make just the right basin for the waves to splash up in a most magnificent and unpredictable way. Every now and then, a more-powerful-than-usual wave will rush into the basin and slam against Spouting Horn in such a way that it rises twenty feet in the air. It is impressive, and scary too, for the water rushes out just as fast as it rose up. You quickly realize to stand back, for you never know if one of those waves will splash up and grab you and pull you into the swirling tides. Indeed, there are warning signs everywhere speaking of "sneaker" waves which can take you unaware. So -- when visiting this site, enjoy the view but beware!
