A quieter River-mouth beach on the north Olympic coast that can throw usable, short-period peaks when W/NW groundswell lines up with the Lyre spit-often surfable without a crowd but fickle and punchy. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Lyre River in Washington.
Live updates
The Lyre River mouth forms a small spit and rocky shoreline that concentrates short, punchy peaks and creates awkward currents near the river outflow.
When it works, the cleanest windows are W-WNW groundswell with light winds from the S-SSE and a mid to rising tide to smooth the spit.
Expect windswells to fill in on onshore days and for conditions to swing quickly with tidal stage.
Access requires a long walk (or paddle) and the spot rarely crowds.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
