Hazards

Official Metro guidance identifies strong current, sudden temperature changes, uneven footing, swimmers and watercraft at the adjacent boat ramp. The foil report says the east-wind setup is fickle; remain clear of boats/swimmers and plan for cold-water/current recovery.

Parking & access

Official Metro page: open 4:30 a.m.-sunset; cars/vans use the east paved lot, $5/car (credit/debit only; annual pass accepted), with accessible spaces. West lot is for buses and boat trailers: https://www.oregonmetro.gov/places/broughton-beach

“Fickle easterly location; local conditions and airport/river restrictions require checking. Requested-field batch 07 verified 2026-08-01: current exact, nearby-camera, candidate and route relationships are explicit; unresolved items remain Unknown.”
