I'm really interested in MLB Operations and the Coast Guard and I'd like to photograph Station Cape Disappointment and NMLB School surf training. Can anyone advise the best times to go watch this training (when I would have the biggest chance of catching it, what time of day, what time of year) during the summer and winter? Also, from which specific vantage points would i get the best shots (the lighthouse, the South jetty, etc)? I live just a couple of hours from Ilwaco and plan on making many visits there.
Does anyone have this same information regarding other surf stations in USCG District 13 (Stations like Quillayute River, Grays Harbor, Tillamook Bay, Coos Bay, Yaquina Bay, Depoe Bay, Chetco River, Umpqua/ Suislaw River)? If I find time, I'd like to get to all of them as well.
