About Salmon holes reef
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (139°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (319°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–17 ft of swell. The sea is about 17°C in September, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in April, its warmest (2 mm shorty). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Albany, 12 km (about 25 min by car). Nearest airport: Albany Airport (ALH), 23 km. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
