Local Knowledge

The Cape in Washington State is a sheltered reef break with inconsistent surf and no distinct seasonal pattern, though the best conditions typically occur in winter, especially December. The spot receives an equal mix of windswells and groundswells, with the optimum swell direction from the west. Offshore winds from the east create the cleanest waves. The location means it is rarely crowded. Surfers should be cautious of hazards such as rocks and sharks.
