Washington can be thought as two zones the strait and the coast. The strait of Juan de Fuca is located on Washington's north coast with surf spots from Near Bay with it 'wedgy' 3rd beach to the mythical waves of Ft.Ebey 80+ miles away. Because the mouth of the Strait is so narrow, 32-40 miles wide, and faces NW it has a limited swell window yet when a NW swell of 9+ ft or so rolls in, the whole coast goes off, mostly left with some rights(the Canada side has mostly rights and really slams on big SW swells in the winter). The coast is a totally different story while there are a few breaks that can get really good they a few and far between in fact the best spots are on the coast side of Near Bay . The coast is usually blown out in the winter with periods of crisp calm. Spring is windy and unpredictable, summer is fun, small or flat. a good choice on small swell day is to head to La Push where there's a channel to funnel the little bit of energy there is in to the little bay lefts and rights on opposite ends of the beach. As far as the much debated Westport it's a pretty good bet in the summer, exactly where I'd go on summer swells 4-9ft west or less than 9ft NW swells. If the crowds bother you, you can head up to the beach break called Hoebucks up in Neah The other main difference between the two regions is accessibility While the strait has a state hwy running it's length and pretty much any point, creek or river mouth has rideable waves in the right conditions. The coast is a pain in the neck to explore for lack of roads and most of the best spots are on guarded Native lands or a loooong hike most of the spots are north of Westport. Finally a bit a about winter and SW swells if I had my druthers I'd always head to Vancouver Is. and the straits but ferry and borders dull the experience so I'll usually head down to seaside an tackle some juice and really aggro locals (even though I've been down there almost every winter since 1993) |

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 abov

BC DAY
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.

windy as hell
I think today was about as windy as it will ever get here, note to self, can't surf PR with +100km winds, beautiful waves for the area though, too bad for the houses on the beach.
