Punta Roca is a well-known surf spot located on the Central American coast, famous for its stunning right point break. This wave offers a long ride with different sections that cater to various skill levels. The scenery is picturesque, and while it can get crowded, the quality of the waves attracts surfers from all over. The area around Punta Roca has a laid-back vibe, and it’s a classic spot to catch some memorable sessions.

The surf here shines especially during the Southern Hemisphere's fall into winter when the swell is most consistent. Optimal conditions occur with a southwest swell, but it can handle sizes from about 4 feet (1.2 meters) to 12 feet (3.6 meters). You'll find the best rides come in with light north winds and at all tide levels—low, mid, and high. The wave breaks over boulders and delivers fun right-hand point breaks that have everything from steep take-offs to deep barrels. On a good day, you can expect to see expert surfers taking advantage of these fast, hollow waves. Just keep in mind that those epic rides can be punishing on your arms if you're chasing multiple waves in a session.

Accessibility is pretty straightforward; it’s best to park down in La Paz and make your way up the point. Just watch for "Mama Roca," a big rock lurking just beneath the surface near the take-off area. Though it can get packed, the overall vibe is part of the experience. Bring either your shortboard, longboard, or fish, and be ready to share the waves with other locals and visitors who are all there for a good time.
