Westport is just about the only reliable, publicly-accessible surf spot on Washington's Pacific shoreline ? thanks to the Army Corps of Engineers. Two long rock jetties flank the entrance to Grays Harbor interrupting a long stretch of featureless coast. There are three major spots: The Jetty or The Corner is the south side of the south jetty, where W and SW swells converge over ample sandbars to create powerful, well-shaped beachbreak waves on N or E winds.
Beware of dangerous rips and currents. Strong timber-industry presence in the Grays Harbor area brings likelihood of pollution.

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.
