Damon Point

Damon Point (Washington, USA) — Surf Spot Description

Damon Point is a coastal surf area on the Washington side of the Pacific Northwest, near Ocean Shores. It’s a rugged, exposed beach break with a raw North West feel: cold water, moody weather, and often inconsistent but sometimes very fun swells.

What it’s like

• Wave type: Mostly beach break
• Best swell: Works best with NW to W swells
• Wind: Often likes light offshore winds, typically from the east
• Conditions: Can be punchy and hollow at times, but usually fairly soft and variable depending on sand movement
• Crowd: Generally less crowded than more famous Oregon or Washington surf zones, though local conditions and access can affect this

Hazards / considerations

• Cold water: A proper wetsuit spot year-round
• Shifting sandbars: Conditions can change quickly
• Currents and rips: Strong currents are common
• Weather exposure: Rain, wind, and heavy chop can make it challenging
• Seasonal changes: Surf quality can vary a lot with storms and sandbar setup

Best time to surf

• Fall and winter tend to bring the most consistent swells in the Pacific Northwest
• Spring can also be good if winds cooperate
• Summer is often smaller and less consistent, but can still produce rideable days

Vibe

Damon Point has a remote, gray, stormy, Pacific Northwest atmosphere. It’s the kind of spot that rewards patience and local knowledge more than perfect forecasts.
