Waves in Puget Sound ?

Post Reply New Topic

Does Puget Sound , especially when it borders upon/by Seattle , have any appreciable waves/surf ?
If I move somewhere I'd like to be near the ocean , so I could maybe swim/hang out by the ocean again , at least after my foot is completely healed (albeit down to 5&1/2-6 toes and some flesh out too) .
I stayed away. from the ocean during my Santa Cruz years due to the open wounds in my foot .

...I should say I meant that about Tacoma as well - do either Se. or Ta. have beaches where Puget has waves suitable for some rolling around/some swimming/riding the waves near the shore ?
I was thinking of moving to Oregon​ , one coastal town in particular but...

No, unfortunately the Sound has almost none of the things that make beach-going enjoyable. Waves are very small, and even during the hottest weather the water is very cold. Only a few of the beaches are sandy. The Sound is great for boating, beautiful islands, whale watching, sometimes, tide-pooling, sometimes. I've always liked Oregon beaches better.

waves in normally still bodied of water, like pools or small lakes, make me uneasy.

...Thank you, Red .
If I had tried to be pretty whimsical here, I might have headlined this " Surfin' Puget Sound ? " !

It can get a bit wavy during storms.
