Neskowin, OR Coastal Erosion Rate

Shoreline change 0.5 miles north of Neskowin, OR

No significant trend

Nothing alarming measured 0.5 miles north of Neskowin, OR: whatever shift USGS's transects picked up here is too small to call reliably one way or the other, which this site reports as "no significant trend" rather than forcing a direction.

The grain of this number

Neskowin, OR is the nearest named place, 0.5 miles away, to a ~3.5-mile stretch of coast USGS has surveyed - the reading below covers that whole stretch, not a single property in it. Segment center: 45.13, -123.98. USGS's Pacific Northwest assessment last surveyed this stretch through 2002-2011, computing the rate with its LRR method. Other US regions were surveyed in different years, sometimes decades apart, so this page states its own rather than implying one national vintage.

Where this fits nationally

This reading comes from 16 individual transects averaged together, 100% of which measured erosion rather than growth. The published margin on this reading runs ±0.66 ft/yr. The unadjusted figure here, -0.28 ft/yr, would place it 416 of 1211 if ranked directly - but an unreliable rank isn't a useful one, which is exactly why "no significant trend" is the headline instead. Source: USGS Open-File Report 2012-1008. Atlantic Beach, NY sits at national rank 1170 for growth (2.35 ft/yr), one reference point among the 1211 scored segments, 2522 miles from here. Neskowin, OR, 1.3 miles off, is the adjacent measured stretch, itself no significant trend.
