- Rocks
- Localism
- Sharks
Dropping tides can be better as it causes the wave to be ledgier..shorter boards are better as it is a good hotdog wave..treat the locals with respect and you will get waves

lol, this is funny... - We call that spot Second Chance because it blows out about an hour after Salmon. So if you burned your morning driving out and salmon crapped out you could at least justify yuor time with a short mushy wave. You don't even have to get your hair wet. I've only surfed it maybe 4 times in the last 10 years but only once did I see someone else do it?

Is this a Joke - i wouldnt even consider calling this place a surf spot. what does it break once a year? if that.

omar vs salmon - just checked it again & it dropped to 2 stars, should actually be one if salmon is 2. looks like someone is actually reading - thanks ED
