How is the weather at Crook Point?

The coastal weather at Crook Point varies by season. Our stretch of coastline is on the Banana Belt of the Southern Oregon Coast, which more resembles California's Bay Area than the areas of the Northern Oregon Coast. In addition, Crook Point is nestled into private coves, providing protection from the North Wind that blows in Curry County during the summer with late May and June bringing the strongest northwest winds. This is when the annual Pistol River Wave Bash, a world-famous wind surfing event, is held just four miles north of Crook Point. With our protected coves and our spruce trees, we are well protected from these north winds. These two months bring occasional showers and July brings the occasional summer fog.

Crook Point is often the northerly limit of the coastal fog belt. In fact, the Gold Beach Municipal Airport, 13 miles north, has more fog-free days than any other portion of the Oregon Coast. When we do experience fog, it tends to burn off by noon and then may gather back in after sunset creating a lovely atmosphere and crisp evenings. Our rainy season begins in late November and the heavy rain season is December through February. Once we approach the spring season, March through May is 50/50 rain and sun. At this time of year, the hillsides and lawns are thick with green grass making for incredibly scenic backdrops next to our majestic coastline. Ansel Adams spent time along our coast and even published a photo of our area named Cape Sebastian 1968. He was known to have referred to our coastline as the "Yosemite of the West Coast."

Is WIFI provided in the homes?

Yes, we have Starlink high speed internet access in our homes. Speeds can be up to 200 mbps allowing for remote working or distance learning but given this is still in beta, there can be some disruptions. Despite these technological conveniences, we recommend using your time at Crook Point to disconnect from everyday life.

Is there cell reception at the homes?

The cell reception is limited at the homes making it the ideal retreat to get away from it all. Verizon, AT&T and US Cellular are more reliable carriers and there is some service at a few of the more westerly homes. Once connected to our WIFI, please set up your phone to use WIFI calling. We recommend you download all booking apps and instructions before leaving home.
