Once a favourite for advanced surfers, Half Moon Bay has become a dangerous shorebreak after sand redistribution. Powerful waves and currents mean it's now rarely surfed, best watched from shore.

Located on the north side of the marina, The Groins provides a lefthand point break when swells wrap into Grays Harbor. It's not a beginner spot due to powerful tidal currents flowing in and out of the harbor.

Westport – The Jetty

Intermediate

Washington's most consistent surf spot features A-frame peaks on a sand bottom. Beginners and pros share the lineup, but a strong rip current runs along the jetty; surfers should stay 50 yards south.
