Visitor Reviews of Salmon Hole

steeve whitehead from AUSTRALIA writes:

Fast peeling right hander to 10 to 12 ft face offshore winds are east to north, breaks more regularly in the winter half of the year. Although this break is correctly postioned on the map, many other breaks on the peninsula are wrongly positioned on this map.
