What is the weather 'usually' like in April?
Expect rain and wind! Possibly sideways rain.
9 years living 2 blocks from the ocean on the north Oregon coast allows me to state the above with extreme confidence. :)
But, in all seriousness, if you do decide to hang out on any of the beaches, always keep yourself faced towards the ocean and be on guard if the swells are large. Spring can still produce large swell events and MANY people have been swept off their feet from an unexpected rouge wave... never to be seen from again. I grew up around oceans, surfing most of my life and have seen many, many people who do not treat the ocean as though it can be a killer.
Additionally, there is a reason the Columbia River Bar is called the Graveyard of the West.
Pretty much like the rest of the year, could be sunny and into the 60's, or could be windy, maybe a little drizzle, or a nice storm with the rain and wind together. Today just south of Newport it is 49 degrees, with a Gail warning with mixed periods of rain and sunshine.
