This is a very unique and VERY finicky surf spot.  It's technically not on the ocean, but in the Straight of Juan de Fuca.  For this spot to pump, the conditions need to be just right.  The swell needs to be coming from the North, not just a little from North, a lot.  But if you catch it on a good day it is a magical place as it's protected from the wind that typically whips the Washington coastline.  Bring a paddle board if you have one because if you miss time the swell and it's flat, there are some amazing places to paddle in this little bay.
