Surf Seaman Spit

Seaman Spit - Birch Bay, Washington Seaman Spit features a left-breaking sandbar wave over a flat rock and sand bottom. This spot is known for its fun, small waves that can hold for 75-100 meters. It typically breaks 15-20 times a year, primarily during mid-tide with rising and falling tides, and is best surfed with northwest winds. Located just 10 minutes north of Bellingham, Seaman Spit offers instant access with a short walk from parking. The atmosphere is laid-back, often with only 1-2 surfers present, making it ideal for those seeking a quiet session. While SUP surfing is common, prone surfing is also possible on larger days. The best way to check conditions is via the Birch Bay webcam. Remember to purchase a parking pass to avoid fines, and be cautious of rocks in the area.
