The most popular surf spot in the county; meaty beachbreak resembling San Francisco's Ocean Beach in terms of size and consistency. Getting out can be difficult, but, if you?re lucky, you can find a natural paddling channel. Heavy sandbar peaks are the norm at Salmon, which gets crowded but usually offers room for all. Rarely flat, so you can surf it all summer long.
Most surfers paddle out in front of the signed parking lot, but a stroll down the beach could yield a solo session at a comparable peak. Numerous white shark sightings. Camping nearby.

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.
