The Strait is a surf spot located in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which stretches along the coast of Washington. This area is known for its unique waves and beautiful scenery. It sees a mix of local surfers and visitors looking for something different. Access can be tricky, as many prime spots are on tribal and private land, so it's important to be respectful and mindful of local customs.

When it comes to surfing at The Strait, the conditions can be a bit fluky and finicky. The best swell direction is from the Northwest, with good waves breaking off a rock ledge. Surfers can expect to handle swell sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters). Most of the waves are left-handers, but there are some right options as well. The optimal wind direction is from the South, and it's best to surf during mid-tide when the waves are at their best. This spot is suitable for intermediate surfers who are comfortable with the conditions.

For those willing to venture further, taking a ferry to Vancouver Island is a good option, as it features right-hand waves as you surf inside the strait. Always keep in mind that different spots around here can work better on different tides, so checking the conditions beforehand is key. Make sure to be aware of the local surf etiquette to maintain good relationships with local surfers.
