Stormrider Description
A wicked, heavy righthand sandbar barrel with its own miniature ecosystem in the water and a huge pinniped rookery on land. Sealife galore, making it the easiest place around to get attacked by a shark, as a few surfers will testify. Usually ridden during clean swells from chest high to a few feet overhead. Incoming tide. Mainly a summer and autumn spot, though autumn is the sharkiest time of year due to salmon runs. The currents and the shorepound are severe.
Deep Indian vibe. The second largest river in California. Essentially, the Klamath is very dangerous but can provide some mind-bending barrels for experienced surfers.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
