North Cove Access |
| |
10 miles south of Westport on Hwy 105, past Grayland on OLD Highway 105 (look for sign) , the northern section. This is Cape Shoalwater. The old highway has been eroded away, and now Does not go through. If you come to a marshland/water viewpoint, you have driven too far. Turn around and take the 2nd left. Meander down this Old Hwy 105 road past the 1st dead end, 100-200 yds, then take the first left and park at the dead end sign. You are there. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | You will know if the local "laaadie" killers have been there if you see empty chew spit cans of Budweiser strewn about. They have no concern for the planet, or fellow surfers. The vehicle you can thank for carrying thier druknen white trash to this spot is a mid-80's beige pickup with a similar colored camper, license plate Wash. A14048J. Wonderful chaps...
The surfing, now, is a different matter. When the jetty at Westport is closed out, don't even bother with the groins-this is where you go. It deliveres steep and hollow right barrells. You can't see it from the highway, so nobody goes there. Heavy tidal and river current from Willapa bay, so pay attention. The takeoff is basically in front of the little blue house. Most surfers will ride the sections right a couple times, then get out of the water and run up the beach to the takeoff. Be aware of the snags/fallen trees in the water. The parking area provides for perfect viewing/photos. Make sure you thank the guys in the camper for the directions.

Atmosphere |
The wave itself is nothing short of gorgeous. The land is eroding considerably each season. So be ready for change. |

General |
You have to see it to believe it. It reminds me briefly of Rincon, but a much shorter ride. Wash-afornia aggros and all... |
