A few times a year when big NW swells max out the north coast, Salinas starts working. An excellent right that's fast, hollow and very shallow at low tide.
Not for the faint-hearted, especially when the crowd of week-end locals show up. Rips, urchins and in your face reef. A long way from nowhere so take water, not valuables.

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.
