Head north on the 101 from La Push. Get out,go underneath the partially bob wired fence, walk a 1/2 mile in the field to where you will see the break. If you see white water from the fence, it's huge.

Parking on the side of 101 can be a little hairy, for your car could get broken into fairly easily and you would not even be able to see it happening. Do not keep any belongings in the car, take your bill fold, keys, and anything important with you. Get there at low tide, then sit it out. It will go from 2 to 5 ft in a matter of 15 minutes when enough water gets on the reef.
THis spot is very unique. It consists of one shelf of reef on the southern Washington coast which many think is non exhistant. on an incoming tide and at least a 5ft west swell, this spot will rival anything on the west coast. Very consistent.
I have been surfing this spot with a friend for three years, we have never seen anyone else here nor have we ever seen any reminents of any surfers. I do not like giving up my spot, but it is a wave to good to go un enjoyed. I am moving, so I must give Bobwires up.

- Hahaha yes! My thoughts exactly.
As in, its "a type of fence constructed in such a way as to deter livestock from brushing up against it...with sharp wire 'BOBs' along its length..."
Got that right off of Ignorapedia :)

Barbwire? - I grew up in Raymond/South Bend and surfed Westport almost everyday in the late eighties- early nineties and let me be the first one to tell you that there is nothing between Grayland and Raymond worth paddling out into. But if you are a crazy S.O.B. and have some crazy friends pick up a large Sea-Doo and go check out the Willapa bay bar during a good size swell on an outgoing tide. You'll need the Sea-Doo because the current is very swift and I believe it would be near impossible to paddle into position.
Another thing you can do if you have the patience is a couple of times a year with a good storm the swell will push upwards of 15+ feet in Westport and when it does it's usually shit but sometimes waves start breaking in the Graysharbor river mouth. Perfect peeling walls that break left and right and seem to go on forever.

Legit - this spot is for real. most people don't think there's much rocky shore south of Grenville...but there is. there's a handy Surf Spot Locator on nwBroweather. Pretty slick Google maps stuff.
