Can be difficult on a big swell and outgoing tide. Always call Coastguard if there is a swell or rough seas. The public
dock can be difficult also if you have to side tie on an on shore
wind, had fun watching Dashews trying to side tie in 40 knots onshore. We once spent two weeks there waiting for a
weather window to go south. Lots of great cruisers in same situation waiting it out. Westport has great surfing inside the harbor and outside it.
Fishing is not what it used to be back in the 70's for Salmon. But spent a lot of the time bottom fishing and cutthroat fishing out of the dink. Always fun. Big fishing derby in September for Salmon and bottom
fish.
Town is a mass of T shirt type shops, tacky but fun. Plenty of places for good breakfasts but only one place for good dinner if it still is there and it is right across from public
dock. We had ball going to the big chainsaw carving contest, I think it is in September.
Are you on your at this time of year? All things can be different in October.
