Yellow Banks

Yellow Banks is a W-facing beach break in Clallam County, Washington, United States. It picks up swell from S to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 41% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
