April showers bring May flowers. If it rains, you're looking at wind from the south. April is hit-or-miss for rain, mostly hit.
I have to ask, why is Florence the start and how are you getting there? Lots of transit options drop one in Eugene (bus, train, plane) and if one starts in Eugene the best route to the coast hits it south of Florence near Reedsport.

This time we're driving down and spending the weekend, then she's driving home alone. She's also flying down to LA and we're doing four days at Disneyland, then she's flying back. I'll continue on to San Diego/Tijuana and I'm taking Amtrak back to Portland. I'm really looking forward to relaxing for 36 hours on the train in a sleeper car.

Mostly calm or light tailwinds. May 2013 Brookings rain day was also wind from South but that was an exception.

I'm doing the route in sections when I can get time off work. Last time it was Astoria to Florence, where some friends have a sweet cottage on the cliffs. Met my girl there and we spent the weekend and then drove home together.
This time we're driving down and spending the weekend, then she's driving home alone. She's also flying down to LA and we're doing four days at Disneyland, then she's flying back. I'll continue on to San Diego/Tijuana and I'm taking Amtrak back to Portland. I'm really looking forward to relaxing for 36 hours on the train in a sleeper car.

Have a fun trip.

You should have a good trip at that time. I think after Labor Day would be my first choice, but Summer would be my second choice and is a good time to go. I would tend to avoid winter for the PC.
BTW, despite the fact that some mention Spring as a good time, it has tended to be very rainy when I have been there in the Spring especially the northern portion. So I'd prefer to avoid spring there.
