This is the default spot for any Strait trippers that get skunked. If there aren't waves here there aren't waves to be had anywhere on the coast.
Atmosphere
During summer months there is a campground running. It's really too blown out in the winter so don't bother. The best day I've had there it was 7-9 ft faces groomed by the constant offshores from the hills. Green shack city. Best to wait for that rare long period day 12 or more sec. to really get it good.

I will go to la push. - The only one campground in the town is right here at hobuck. The price went up from $15 to $25 for the summer. Thats too much to throw a tent at the grass. No more Neah Bay.
