Netarts, OR Coastal Erosion Rate
What USGS measures 6 miles south of Netarts, OR
Good news, and an honest one: USGS's data can't distinguish this stretch, 6 miles south of Netarts, OR, from a flat trend. Whatever small movement it measured here is statistical noise, not a reliable direction, so none is claimed.
What "Netarts" means on this page
USGS surveys the coast in transects spaced a few hundred feet apart; this page groups the nearest ones into a single ~3.5-mile reading for the stretch closest to Netarts, OR, rather than showing one arbitrary line. Segment center: 45.35, -123.96. The survey behind it runs to 2002-2011, in USGS's Pacific Northwest assessment, using the LRR method. Shoreline surveys aren't repeated every year, so this is the most recent long-term measurement USGS has published for this coast, not a live reading.
What backs this reading up
Averaging 66 separate transects produced this segment's rate, with 64% individually reading as erosion, rather than relying on any single survey line. The published margin on this reading runs ±1.15 ft/yr. The unadjusted figure here, -0.47 ft/yr, would place it 309 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. For scale: Ferndale, CA, 344 miles away, ranks 953 of 1211 nationally for growth, 0.26 ft/yr. 3.3 miles away, Netarts, OR is the nearest other measured stretch: also no significant trend.
Not this whole stretch, just Netarts itself: the Coastal Change Hazards Portal is USGS's own live version of this data.
