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 5-6ft with a 10.3s swell period. Wind is WSW at 7mph and conditions are rated Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
