Damon Point is a wide, sandy beach break located on Washington's southwestern coast near Ocean Shores, offering mellow, rolling waves ideal for learning and intermediate progression. The break faces directly westward, capturing Pacific swells that wrap around the point and create surprisingly consistent conditions despite the exposed Pacific shoreline. This relatively uncrowded spot provides a fun, forgiving sand bottom perfect for improving your pop-up and turns in a laid-back beach environment.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Damon Point is 4-6ft with a 9.1s swell period. Wind is NW at 11mph and conditions are rated Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Damon Point is 4-6ft, produced by a 5.8ft WNW primary swell at 9s, a 0.9ft SW secondary swell at 15s, a 0.4ft SW tertiary swell at 20s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Damon Point is Tuesday from 8 AM to 11 AM with 5ft waves, a 9.1s swell period, and conditions rated Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
