First off I gotta say this was by far the warmest and sunniest day I had ever seen at Westport mainly because I don't usually come here in the summer. But i bought myself a skimboard and wanted to try it out and when I checked the surf report I was surprised that the was a good swell! It was so big and the time peroid between waves was so short days before hand that the boats were forced stay in the harbor. It was more packed than usual but the waves and weather made up for it. I only caught a few cause Westhaven is like a washing machine, and got pounded by 2. But it was fun and I can't complain!

Surf spot: Westport, United States of America
Description:
The thing about Westport is that its best after labor day wknd for several reasons: no crowds, better weather, nicer swell, more parking and less traffic to get there and get out.
During the summer you'll have to contend with all of the above if you want to take a chance to get lucky and catch some waves, otherwise you're driveing 80 miles south to OR, and with gas being what it is, thats another $50 in gas and 3+ hrs of driving. So catch the dawn sessions and late late evenings, enjoy the freak show from a good spot you scored in the parking lot during the day, play with the dog and take naps.
On good days theres some really talented surfers there that can make anyone feel humble, but for the most part watch your head and board (especially during summer) or you'll get hit by a rental board.
The cove hardly works in the summer but when it does (no matter when) its not for the begginers. fast, powerfull wave with a steep take off, drops fast, breaks in showllow water and will pound you and make you go on the spin cycle.
Groins, super nice when they're working, just can't hold more then a dozen people.
Jetty...nice when its clean which is rare, usually crowded.
The town has nothing to offer really but if you're going for anything else besides surfing, theres somethere wrong. Mermaid's is a prolly your best bet for a good restaurant and cool bar at night (only one in town), the other two are white trash jokes for the most part (no offense to the local white trash).
Surf shops? There are two, The Surf shop (first one you'll see when you drive into town) which in my personal experience is the last place i'd ever step foot inside ever again. got a bad vibe from the owner, big al, who was a dick to me and my friend. The second shop closer to the braks, Steepwater is way, way, way cooler with way nicer and cool owners.
Camping? Twin harbors state park, not cheap but nice, not too far away. Theres a private site too, forgot the name of it and plant of motels and rv lots i know nothing about.
One shitty grocery store so bring your own food.
Theft, crime or cops don't seem to be a problem.
I really like westport, its my defoult spot and really like the people i've meet there, super nice locals and mellow visitors.
I think that sums up westport....

The groins were working well this weekend at low tide and the wind was minimal. There were a few hours with only a few people on the groins getting back in time for every nice. clean set. Such a good time, but so many people everywhere.

Description:
it was summer 2005 when my brother David was getting married in Tacoma washington, i was the best man so i knew i had to go up there no matter what, thinking about where the location of tacoma was i grabbed a map and noticed how close it was to the to the pacific coast, so me and my other bro Tristan decided to make it a surf / marriage celebration trip. we both looked at the map and saw La Push right away and we thought that we should go there to probally score some waves, all we needed was some way to get there. we had put both our boards in one bigass board bag wraped them up in all our clothes, we scored a Jeep from my uncle in law, he hooked us up with a tent, camp stove, and some tarps, he was stoked that we were going to use all his old camping shit he had in the garage anyways, then we got a random tip from some dude riding a bike that we should go to Westport, we looked at the map and saw it was more or less on the way, so we headed for it, we got there at dusk we parked atop the sand dune and heard the roar and thunder, we knew it was much much bigger than it looked, it started to rain hard so we decided to set up camp and charge first thing in the morning, we got up a 6, and there was not a cloud in the sky, beautiful and warm, then after coffee, it got real dark and overcast and howling offshore. but it had died in wave height since last night, we called it 15foot faces from the dunes, we were the onlyones there , 2 guys from The gulf coast of Texas , the paddle out took about 45minutes, the water was dark emerald green, the beach is littered with hundereds of huge washed up tree trunks and low overcast clouds slightly raining, offshore winds, when we finally got out to the line up a few hundred yards of the beach sea lions began patroling around us and barking up a storm, the first wave i had in westport was a solid 12foot face, and walled up ,after a couple of pumps i was flying right into this close out section and i smak it right in the pocket, and the whitewater engulfs me. my board is tombstoning and then... POP,leasch breaks and board is long gone, i look back for Tristan and hes way off, then i sketch out,i didnt know shit about where i was, what was below me , i didnt know the currents, i thought about if one of those massive tree logs was going to come rollin in right over me, i started thinking about the possibility of white sharks feeding on the sea lions, and i panic, finally realized just to take it easy and backstroked all the way in, i get to the beach and collapse, then some random dude comes up and asked me if i had another leasch,i told him that i didnt and i had just broke mine, he had seen me evidently, and he gave me one of his extras he had in his car, we surfed the south side of the jetties a long time, it was big and fun, we went in for lunch and discovered this sweet cove where everyone was surfing at, ! we should have been there the whole time, really fun waves, the coffee shop right down the road is chill, cheap good coffee, we saw all the epic photos on the walls of some sick ass barrels, and gained much respect for the hardcore bad ass mother fuckers from Washington! water temp the whole time was a Tropical 63degrees!!! it was a sweet trip, if you go up there be sure to bring your board
