Seabrook Beach is a mellow, sandy beach break located on Washington's Pacific coast, offering consistent waves that work best during autumn swells. The protected position within the Strait of Juan de Fuca delivers forgiving, rolling waves ideal for beginners and intermediate surfers looking to develop their skills. This relatively uncrowded gem provides a peaceful surf experience with the dramatic coastal scenery of the Olympic Peninsula as your backdrop.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Seabrook Beach is 4-6ft with a 10.6s swell period. Wind is SE at 11mph. Conditions are rated Good. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Seabrook Beach is 4-6ft, produced by a 8.8ft W primary swell at 11s, a 5.3ft S wind swell swell at 7s, a 1.3ft SW tertiary swell at 15s. 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 Seabrook Beach is Thursday from 10 AM to 1 PM with 5ft waves, a 10.6s swell period, and conditions rated Good. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Seabrook Beach 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.

Common hazards at Seabrook Beach include strong rip currents, cold water temperatures, occasional logs and debris. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
Our Seabrook Beach 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).
