About this Spot

Salmon Beach is a surf spot located in South West Australia, Australia. Known for its regular wave frequency, this spot offers both left and right waves, making it accessible for surfers of all levels. The sea bottom here consists of sand and rocks, and the waves are best surfed at low to medium tide. With a wave length of less than 50 meters, Salmon Beach provides a normal quality surfing experience. Despite its favorable conditions, the spot is often empty, allowing surfers to enjoy the waves without the hassle of crowds. However, it’s important to be aware of potential hazards such as rips, undertow, and rocks. Additionally, the presence of sharks in the area is a consideration for surfers. The spot is easy to find, just turn right before Windy Harbor, and you might often find yourself as the only one out there. A big swell on the south coast can cause the waves to close out, so it’s crucial to check the surf forecast and report before heading out. Nearby surf spots include Mandalay Beach, Black Point, Conspicuous Beach, Twisties, and Augusta Rivermouth. When surfing at Salmon Beach or any other spot, it’s important to respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Remember to stay informed about the surf map and webcam updates for the latest conditions. Respect the locals.
