| + | * Once in a blue moon Bellingham Bay may get strong enough wind swell to create some shore surf, but it is rare. South winds can sometimes also build a little bit of shore waves at the northern beaches in the Bay. | ||
| + | * There are a few fairly dedicated board surfers who seem to find more frequent opportunities at [[:birch_bay#surfing|Birch Bay]]. And if you want to start to practice getting in and out through shore break, Birch Bay can be one place to start that more frequently has a bit of shore break, but is almost always just quite moderate in comparison to places around the world that employ surf lifesavers. | ||
