Hmmm, a one foot wave doesn't sound like it would be worth it. At least not 3 days of it.
If its crappy, anyone want to go run some rivers out there? I've never paddled out there

I would like to run something out there too, but I am not familiar with the rivers out there. Plus, I think it will be a low water weekend everywhere this weekend,unless it pours down rain...I am just going up on Friday afternoon, maybe do some hiking in the area, then surf a bit on Saturday, take pictures, more hiking, eat drink and all that stuff, then head home Sunday morning.

I don't think it is going to be warm and sunny, Cliff Mass indicates were looking at an extreme cold front moving in on Thursday. Possible lowland snow but really really cold air. Check it to wreck it. http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/

Sunday is not looking so small - breaking Wave Estimate 10ft! http://magicseaweed.com/La-Push-Surf-Report/308/
It is looking pretty darn cold. Still wondering if anyone has a cabin they want to share - floor space is fine!

I'm still undecided. Looks cold! Very small surf friday, and I'm thinking 10' is too big for me on Sunday.

I was going, but the weather is looking bad for driving out there on Friday. A 3 hour drive in the ice doesn't sound like fun. I dont have good tires or chains for ice and snow. I guess they are getting hammered with snow over there right now...

Pummel Report 2011: Another excellent Pummel, lots of great energy and paddling stoke. Weather was the whole smorgasbord from stunningly clear and beautiful but cold day Friday. This year’s Pummel had a great showing of SUP’s which was awesome. The sunset was amazing, enjoyed a great surf session from about 2ish a good group that surfed until Sunset. Olalla Dave was the first and only surf kayaker I saw out that day with some great rides. A group of Sea Kayakers had a treat for a sunset paddle around James Island. Saturday brought a blustery cloudy day; we had a leisurely morning as it was flat until late morning. Greg got a great bonfire going on the beach early and kept going all day. Down towards second beach is where the waves were near the icy cliffs which just added to the effect when the snow flurries came. Great rides had by all despite the work of the wind but the payoff was great!! Hope everyone got to admire Mikes handmade wooden mini simmons a work of art, amazing to see on some of those faces. Sea Kayakers headed from the Marina across the windy bay to second beach then had 4-6ft waves to surf back with one rescue out there. Others got the hiking treat of the Hoh covered in snow with a herd of Elk. There were surf and sea kayakers out until sunset, surfing. The Potluck was great, good fun, awesome people and lots of stories to share. Very fun time.
Saturday night brought quite a storm, big winds which continued on Sunday and LaPush once again looked like it did in the January’s previously. We and others packed up and made the 11 o’clock check out and some of us got a pleasant surprise going the 112 route finding that twin had waves waiting for us. As clean and glassy as they were the rides on Saturday were still the fondest. People thanked us for organizing but really the Pummel ends up being what people bring to it and make of it. We had a great time and thank everyone for coming and making the Pummel so awesome. Looking forward to next year. We are going to keep with the weekend following President’s day.
