Salmon Hole is a scenic right pointbreak that caters mainly to experienced surfers. The spot works best with a southwest swell and handles waves around 3ft (about 1 meter). While it can be fun on a good day, keep in mind that conditions can change, and you might get caught in some uneven reef when paddling out. If the winds are blowing from the north, you’re likely to find fast, hollow waves here, but be sure to avoid the suck rock in the middle, which can be a surprise for the unaware.
The waves at Salmon Hole are right-hand point breaks, making this spot appealing for those looking to ride longer waves. For optimal conditions, it’s best to hit the water during low to mid tide. If the wind shifts to the south, it’s recommended to head around to Daly Heads. That spot is known for being consistently good and can handle bigger swells, creating some challenging walls for surfers looking for a bit more excitement.
In the area, Rock Pools is another right reef that can be worth checking out if you’re looking for variety. Just remember that this spot is really suited for expert surfers due to its tricky conditions. So, if you're up for it, pack your gear and see what Salmon Hole has to offer!
