Salmon rocks
Edit SpotAbout
When it gets big and is firing this can be one of the best waves in southeastern Australia. Salmon rocks, at and above 3 meters, produces a lengthy ride with a meaty workable shoulder on the outside and fast, grinding barrels on the inside. To crank out some big turns, side outside the boat launch and wait for the bombies, if you want to get shacked off your gourd, stay inside, lining up alongside the rocks that give this break its name.
