Salmon Hole

Salmon Hole is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. The spot is known for its coral reef bottom and provides both left and right waves. It is suitable for surfing at all tides and is considered a regional classic in terms of wave quality. The spot is best suited for intermediate surfers due to its sometimes breaking waves that can reach lengths of less than 50 meters. Surfers will find the area relatively uncrowded, making it an ideal location for those seeking solitude on the waves. However, caution is advised as there are rocks that become exposed during low tide, and the waves are often larger than they appear. Additionally, the presence of sharks is something to be mindful of. Nearby surf spots include Blowhole, Beachport, Drums, Southend, and Cullens. To reach Salmon Hole, drive around the scenic route until you reach the back of the reef. It’s important to check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded and to assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
