Pay and park at the RV camp ground (5$), its right across from the surf and they have warm showers. this break does not always work so call the RV park before you go, they dont mind 1(360)928-3344. they have a clear view and can tell you if your wasting your time. when it does work it can be a fun break, good for beginners or just messing around. knee to shoulder high on an average day. best at the river mouth. The wave can be really fun but there are too many kayakers in the line up to feel comfortable the kayakers don't understand the rules of wave trading tending to drop in alot!
Overview
Atmosphere
Crescent is like the catchers mitt of the Strait scooping up any available swell for some short close out rides.
General
Probably the best spot to learn on the Strait just learn how to avoid the kayakers

this spot is weak and breaks only a few days a year - usually no more than waist high

wnw swell at a very high tide.....
the few times I've been there with an abnormally high tide and a good wnw swell there has been a massive wave way out in the strait...I want to say a mile or a mile and a half out there there is some shallow island that gets covered in a very high tide and there are some hooters breaking over it.
Anybody else ever sat there and looked at those huge waves way way out there?

Summer Swells?
I am planning to come down on some trips to Surf Crescent during the summer.
What should I expect?
