| + | Bellingham is not really known for surf because it is completely protected from ocean swell, but occassionally when there is very strong wind there can be some noticeable surf at Marine Park ([[https://youtu.be/XmEBifLrTIU|video]]) or at the [[:bham_bay_launches#upper_bay|north end of the bay]] at places like Squalicum Beach. | ||
