Visitor Reviews of Otter Rock


Nate and Cindi from UNITED STATES writes:

Otter Rock is great for beginners to old timers. There is a lot of water open and it can be a great place for long rides when it is working. Most often though the wave is a squish and messy side water. Early mornings on a long board, hands down the place to be. When all else is flat usually there is something Otter has to offer. Always a smile and a ride.
