Crescent
Edit SpotAbout
Probably the best spot to learn on the Strait just learn how to avoid the kayakers
Atmosphere:
Crescent is like the catchers mitt of the Strait scooping up any available swell for some short close out rides.
Additional Info:
Pay and park at the RV camp ground (5$), its right across from the surf and they have warm showers. this break does not always work so call the RV park before you go, they dont mind 1(360)928-3344. they have a clear view and can tell you if your wasting your time. when it does work it can be a fun break, good for beginners or just messing around. knee to shoulder high on an average day. best at the river mouth. The wave can be really fun but there are too many kayakers in the line up to feel comfortable the kayakers don't understand the rules of wave trading tending to drop in alot!
