La Push Surf Guide
Located within Olympic National Park, La Push is home to some decent but fickle beachbreak. The crescent of First Beach is the main spot, offering erratic sandbars with a steep beach drop-off. Basically only rideable during summer and early autumn, La Push is an average beachbreak that has some good days and a lot of bad days.Above La Push, the Olympic Peninsula's Cape Flattery is the northwestern-most point of land in the contiguous United States. Here lies a north-northeast-facing surf reality a world away from the exposed coast. Maddeningly fickle and working only during large NW swells are a handful of rideable breaks.
