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 3-4+ft with a 10.6s swell period. Wind is SSE at 18mph. Conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Damon Point is 3-4+ft, produced by a 9.8ft WNW primary swell at 11s, a 6.5ft S wind swell swell at 7s, a 1.3ft SW tertiary swell at 13s, a 1.3ft SW tertiary swell at 17s. 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 Thursday from 1 PM to 4 PM with 4ft waves, a 10.4s swell period, and conditions rated Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Damon Point works best with a W swell and E winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Damon Point. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.

The prime season at Damon Point is fall, when swell direction, wind patterns, and water temps line up most consistently. Outside the peak season you can still score, but you'll need to watch the forecast closely for the right windows.
Common hazards at Damon Point include strong currents, offshore wind hazard during easterly conditions, cold water temperatures. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
Our Damon Point forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
