this is a tricky spot to access..Follow hwy 112 to Neah Bay go through the village at the fork on the westside of town turn right then left up the hill take the 3rd right after the pavement turns to gravel find a safe solid place to park the ground is soft here causing many sad dig outs in the rain. If you look around and see majestic grand forest you're in the wrong place! You want nasty garbage all over, shot up cars and bears hiding in the bushes then you are in the right spot. On the northwest side of the gabage area there is a trail that leads down to the break. It's best if you pack your stuff down and change into your wetsuit on the beach or you'll be sportin' a new hole in your 5/4. with the nearest surf shop 2+ hrs away
Look out for bears in the actual dump. Careful to park your car where it won't get shot! Try to get there when it has been dry for awhile or the hike is insane!
Overview
Atmosphere
Such an ugly start to such a verdant beauty of a wave the water is so clear you'd think it was stained glass. The wave is a Washington wonder in the top 3 best on the coast. Powerful left that allows for numerous airs and other progressive moves. But, really don't bother trying to find it alone, it can be dangerous. Remember the airlift to PA costs $1500.00.
General
Besides all the other distractions from surfing this spot let me add one more.. in my all my years surfing the Washington coast west and north this is the only place I ever saw a shark not too big probably 6 to 8 feet long but it spooked the hell out of me!My only explaination for this was that is was an El Nino year so the warmer(68 degrees!) water must of brought some vistors.

WA locals chill the F out
I hate people who think they own the ocean. Should surfers be only allowed to surf in the town they were born in? I'm from Hawaii and love to surf. Now that I live in Washington, do I have to give up the sport? If that's the case then the same rules should apply to everyone. People who live around this spot should not be allow to surf any other break in Washington. And if they wanna take a surf trip to Cali, Oregon, Hawaii, Florida, N.C. Australia, whereever, they need to get their ass stomps. Not many people surf (regularly) in Washington to begin with. Try surfing in a line up with 40 people everyday like we do in Hawaii then complain. Wahhhh we gotta share a spot with 2 more nonlocals now there's 5 of us in the lineup. Geez cry me a river.

I wouldn't worry too much...
Been surf'n out here for a handful of years now and been to most of the good spots and the ideal swells are few and far between. Why are so many guys acting like this is V-land. Protecting our invironment is one thing but trying to run off all the non-existant travelers jumping in their cars and hussling out here to try to find one of the swells in frigid temperatures is beneath any real surfer and a waste of time. There's a few people but get real! Most of the people just end up at Hobuck anyway.
