Double Bluff and Locust in Bellingham are the best options. Richmond Beach can be hard since it is deep water. If you're good at self rescues, and the tide is low, there's plenty of beach downwind to come in to if you can't stay upwind. But high tide, you have maybe two tacks downwind before you're out of beach and only have railroad tracks.
