Washington State Surf Breaks
Washington has plenty of breaks to explore.....the problem is getting to them. The state has in place several property laws where large parts of the coastline are privately owned. The road network consists mainly of small side roads and trails down to many of the beaches. Mainly beach breaks. Cold water all year round so bring a winter wetsuit (4/3 and up).
