Description
Russian Rivermouth - Jenner, California
Russian Rivermouth features a rivermouth wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom, offering ordinary power. The spot is accessible via Rte 1 North, located at the mouth of the Russian River in Jenner, with instant access available in under 5 minutes. Optimal conditions occur with southeast, east, or northeast winds and swells from the north, northwest, west, or south.
This surf spot is known for its unpredictable nature, heavily influenced by river flow and shifting sandbars. Best surf conditions typically arise during summer and autumn months, with righthand barrels being the highlight, though decent lefts can also be found. The crowd is generally sparse, with few surfers on weekdays and a handful of locals on weekends. While the atmosphere can feel standoffish, engaging with fellow surfers can enhance the experience. Caution is advised due to the presence of sharks and potential rips or undertows.
