Where to Surf in Washington

Seabrook

If you are new to surfing, the beaches of Seabrook are the perfect place to get started. The sand spit here extends into the surf, creating a calm beach break without any obstacles. Make sure to check the Seabrook Beach surf report before you head out to see the current surf heights, swells, winds, and high & low tides.

Ocean Shores

Stop by North Coast Surf in Ocean Shores for all your surfing gear needs. Head to North Jetty for the best local surf conditions, offering consistent beach breaks and a rare S wind block. Stay safe, and make sure to consult the Ocean Shores surf forecast.

Westport

Plan a day trip to Westport and discover the best surfing in Washington, an hour from Surfcrest Resort. The Jetty at Westhaven State Park offers the most consistent surfable waves in the state and the best spot for beginners. If you are looking to try surfing for the first time, we encourage you to sign up for a lesson here with BigFoot Surf!

Surfers of intermediate to advanced ability can visit The Groins at Westport Marina for exceptional surf conditions. 

Tips for Surfing on the Washington Coast

Before catching some waves, make sure you are familiar with proper surf etiquette and have the right equipment to stay safe. The Pacific Ocean is cold, so you need a good hooded wetsuit to stay warm while surfing. And remember, when in doubt, don’t paddle out!
