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 2-3ft with a 10.3s swell period. Wind is WNW at 9mph and conditions are rated Poor - Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Damon Point is 2-3ft, produced by a 4.4ft W primary swell at 10s, a 0.8ft SW secondary swell at 17s, a 0.5ft SW tertiary swell at 19s. 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 Monday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 3ft waves, a 10.7s 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.
