A small, relatively sheltered cove at the end of La Push Road. (Route 110) about 15 miles from Highway 101. Sand and gravel at the mouth of the Quillayute River (La Push comes from la bouche or ?the mouth?) creates several distinct, fat peaks on the outside with reform sections working into the beachbreak. Mid tides, all swells from S to NW. James Island, the rugged mass that frames the north side of the cove, jumbles up a full N swell ? try the beachbreak on the north side of the rivermouth for some clean winter barrels.
Summer is best here, but if it's not an El Niņo year, it's plenty cold.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
