When planning your vacation, one of the first things you have to decide is when to visit. There’s never a bad time to visit, so deciding the best time to visit Washington State is entirely based on your preferences. Seeking sunshine and family fun? Choose summer! How about dramatic storms and lower rates? Winter is for you. No matter which season you prefer, Surfcrest Resort offers the perfect accommodations for your Washington Coast getaway!
Washington Coast Summer
Summer is the peak travel season in Washington. But your experience can vary greatly depending on where you visit. On the eastern side of the state, temperatures are hot, while the western side offers much cooler weather. We are located in Copalis Beach on the western side, where the cooling influence of the Pacific keeps summer temperatures comfortable. It usually stays around the 60s and 70s, and has a few rainy days.
It’s the perfect season for:
Beach days
Sunset watching
Kite flying
Water activities like kayaking and fishing
Local events
Washington Coast Fall
Early fall on the coast is an extension of summer, offering similar temperatures and experiences for visitors. It’s a great time to get that summer feeling without the high prices and crowds. Although fall foliage isn’t as vibrant as in other areas, you can still see some leaves transition at destinations like Olympic National Park. By late fall, the weather has dropped to the 40s and 50s, and rainfall has increased.
Fall on the coast is a wonderful time for these activities:
Storm watching
Halloween festivities
Hiking
Washington Coast Winter
Winters on the coast are mild, with temperatures ranging from the low 30s to the high 40s. It rarely snows in the winter; instead, we get lots of rain this time of year. It’s also the quietest season, so you can enjoy nature without the crowds and reduced rates on accommodations.
Things to do during winter in Copalis Beach:
Razor clamming
Hiking
Dining
Shopping
Exploring museums
Washington Coast Spring
Life comes back to the coast during spring. After all the winter rain, the region blossoms with lush greenery and wildflowers. Temperatures can be unpredictable during this shoulder season, ranging from the high 30s to the low 60s. Spring is best known for the whale migration, when over 20,000 gray whales migrate through the waters by Copalis Beach. The best time to see the whales is from March to May.
But, while you are here, you can also enjoy:
Razor clamming
Wildlife watching
Hiking
Beachcombing
