Tsoo-Yess Beach is a remote and rugged stretch of Washington's Olympic Peninsula coastline, tucked within the Olympic National Park near the mouth of the Hoh River corridor and facing southeast toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The beach picks up long-period northwest swells that wrap around Cape Flattery, producing punchy, unpredictable beach break waves on a sandy bottom that can surprise surfers with hollow sections. Its extreme isolation and raw Pacific Northwest setting make it one of Washington's most adventurous surf destinations, rewarding those willing to make the journey with uncrowded waves and stunning wilderness scenery.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Tsoo-Yess Beach is 4-6ft with a 10.3s swell period. Wind is WSW at 4mph. Conditions are rated Good. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Tsoo-Yess Beach is 4-6ft, produced by a 7.8ft W primary swell at 10s, a 4.5ft S secondary swell at 8s, a 1.4ft SSW tertiary swell at 13s. 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 Tsoo-Yess Beach is Thursday from 11 AM to 2 PM with 5ft waves, a 10.3s swell period, and conditions rated Fair - Good. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Tsoo-Yess Beach works best with a NW 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 Tsoo-Yess Beach. 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.

Our Tsoo-Yess 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).
