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 5 people have ever surfed here because this wave only breaks about every 10 years as far as we can tell. 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.
Overview
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.
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.

Small but fun
Had surf 6/29 & 6/30. Small windswell made for some fun little ankle biters. 3-4 people out and 2 hours of surfable waves.
