Russian Rivermouth
Edit SpotAbout
Breaks every so often. Mellow spot. Don't bring a tude as there aren't many surfers (or waves) around here. If you catch it feel lucky and don't try to catch them all.
Atmosphere:
Works when the bars are set up right and the right swell/wind combo hits. Not often....more sea lions and seals than surfers...beware of whitey - this place is like a McD's drivethru for him.
