Twins
Edit SpotAbout
depending on the size and direction of the swell this wave can go from very long mushy left peeler to a jacking A-frame the take off was 150 yards past the piling breaking both ways the right having incredible tube potential and the left breaking all the way to the point to the east 300 yards+ On a freak 36 ft NW it connected past the eastern headland into the usually sheltered cove. Now people will tell you that this is a very fickle wave and they'ed be right! But don't let that scare you off. There were years when I surfed this place everyday in the fall. The best of those years were when El Nino was acting up. There was even a 16 ft NW swell that summer! I have been driving past on my way out to the Wedge/The Wall in Neah Bay sometime in mid spring when lo' 'n behold At TWINS there were perfect 3 to 4 foot longboard waves peeling in from the piling to the cove.
Atmosphere:
Green Heaven a fun spot to meet other laid back friendly Strait surfers. You can get free dungeness crabs from the guys that have their pots out...if you help them bring in their boat.
Additional Info:
On most day if breaking to it most common potential one would line up at or near the piling marker an easy dry lid paddle
