Surf Salmon Creek

Salmon Creek - California Salmon Creek features a powerful beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. Located right off Highway 1, north of Bodega Bay, it offers a short walk (5-15 minutes) to the surf. The spot is known for its challenging conditions, particularly during mid-tide with a falling tide, and can handle solid swells from various directions. This popular surf destination attracts a mix of surfers, especially on weekends, and can get crowded, though it has ample space to accommodate many. The waves can reach heights of 3-4 meters during solid swells, reminiscent of San Francisco's Ocean Beach. While the atmosphere is generally friendly, localism can be an issue, and caution is advised due to the presence of sharks and rips. For those seeking less crowded peaks, a short walk down the beach can yield more opportunities. Always remember to respect the environment and fellow surfers.
