Description

Fort Canby - Washington Fort Canby features a rocky reef break with both right and left-hand waves. The bottom consists of sandy areas interspersed with rocks, creating a powerful and fast surf experience. This spot is best during mid to high tide, particularly on a falling tide, and is accessible via a 15-30 minute walk from the nearest state park. While not a frequent destination, Fort Canby can deliver hollow "A" frames on the right day, offering a unique surf experience with minimal crowds. The atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of shipwrecks and marine life, including seals and sharks. However, surfers should be cautious of the various dangers, such as rips, rocks, and man-made hazards. Despite its challenges, when conditions align, Fort Canby can be a rewarding spot for those seeking adventure away from the more crowded breaks.
