Biggest Surf in 40 Years Hits Washington Coast

Only the bravest and most intrepid surfers try these waves

The biggest surf in over 40 years hit the central Washington coast over the weekend, sending many to watch, few to surf.

"This is big, big stuff," said one man who stood on the beach with board in hand---but who never went in the water.

"The sets in this part of the world come much closer together," said Casey Jones, one of the few who did surf. "A 30 foot wave here is much more challenging than a 30 footer in the lower latitudes. This is some heart-stopping stuff out here today," he grinned.

Casey says he's a "mid-level" surfer, but many who called themselves experts or pros never got their feet wet, saying they "just weren't used to conditions in this part of the world." A prudent stance, perhaps.

The Coast Guard station at Westport publicly announced that surfing was "not advised" in current conditions. "We see very few surfers this far north," said Petty Officer John Hanks. "We're not really equipped to deal with emergencies involving swimmers in the surf. The beach has no lifeguards, and by the time we got a rescue 41 (footer) out there, it would almost certainly be too late."

Those intrepids like Casey Jones said they accepted the risks.

"We're not asking to be rescued," he said. "We're out here on our own, and we'll take our chances. Thanks for the concern though!"

The mammoth conditions only lasted about six hours. When the tide changed, the seas calmed, and even the tourists went home.
