Atmosphere
Many a time I have pulled into ledgy little barrels. Here the view is awesome and it's a great place for a dawn patrol and a late afternoon session after the wind dies down, and the sun-sets ! It makes me feel like I'm in the islands.

The North Jetty
By here's your answer , 19-03-2008
To Question - No, the Jetty and DP are 2 different spots. You assume correctly.
The Jetty is located at the end of Ocean Shores, and marks the north end of Grays Harbor.
DP, as you already guessed, is inside the harbor...about 1/2 mile inside I guess...and breaks on a long spit of sand.
Jetty---better in Summer.
DP---look for big S or SW swells with N to NW winds,which blow offshore there.
You'll probably get skunked on either, unless you live here.
