Additional Information
Ft Ebey is a consistent break compared to Seaman Spit.
Yes, this is a real break. No, you'll never likely be able to surf here.
As far as I know only 7 people have ever surfed here because this wave is one of the toughest in the state to predict. It requires a strong storm and gusting winds the day before in the perfect direction to even get it to begin to break. Add another 5-10 variables and it's basically impossible to predict when it will break.
Atmosphere
If you're lucky enough to see this breaking, grab your board and get in the water quick. It may not break again till next year or 10 years from now.
General
We surfed here on 3/29/09 and had 3ft glassy conditions with consistent swell for 3 hours. I doubt it will ever happen again. People walking by said they had lived here for 20 years and never seen it like that.

Good winter and spring strong winds - Been enough high winds out of the NW this winter and spring that I surfed out here 4 times in the last couple of months. Not bad for inland surfing with no exposure to the open ocean.

Two sessions in one week at the spot - Ankle biters 9/26/09 - but surfable.

Another day of surfing in Bellingham - Had surfable 1-2 foot peelers today. Went out on my lunch break and got my longest ride yet at this spot, caught a wave off the point and surfed 200 feet down the north side. Small waves but the weather was great.
