Additional Information
Seaman Spit In Birch Bay State Park breaks 15-20 times a year or more. While it's difficult to predict and requires good winds out of the NW, W or SW for swell it's a fun small wave with a nice shape that holds for 75-100 yards down the shoreline in the state park. Make sure you buy a parking pass when parking at the point in the State Park or you'll get a ticket.

Atmosphere
If you're lucky enough to see this breaking, grab your board and get in the water quick. Seaman Spit is best suited to SUP surfing on most days and can be prone surfed on larger days. Look for winds out of the NW on an incoming tide. There's a Birch Bay webcam pointed at the point in the State Park and this is the best way to see if there are any waves breaking. Usually only 1-2 people will be at this spot, but on good days there may be a mix of surfers, SUP surfers, kayaks, and surf skis but everyone gets along.
