I visited Salt Creek Beach on 12/30/2011 at 2:00 p.m. It was a very nice day and the air temperature was 55 degrees but it felt warmer. The water temperature was between 57 and 59 degrees. Scattered clouds were noted. The sun was shining brightly. No breeze was noted. The ocean conditions were perfect for surfing. Better breaks offered knee-waist-chest high surf with some spots offering up to shoulder high+ range. Surf was 3-4 foot with occasional 5 foot waves. The swell was S, SW, W, and WNW. There were many people at the beach today, probably due to the holiday. I estimated approximately 100 people on the beach and probably 75+ surfers. I counted 10 boats out in the ocean with occasional gulls flying overhead. Overall, a very pleasant day for the beach.
