Overview
Rock is a quality right-hand reef barrel that breaks off Anjou Port over an uneven reef. It draws the area's best surfers, and the rocks are worth respecting when you paddle out.
When It Works
Rock takes swell from east to southeast (E-SE), and it really comes to life on a big east-southeast swell, with southeast (SE) the best direction. A northeast swell hits it too straight to work. At head-high it throws clean barrels, and it turns into more of a wall as the size builds. It works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft and is moderately consistent, less reliable than nearby Hungry.
Wind and Tide
Look for southwest (SW) offshore wind. It can break through low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is an expert-level wave, and the lineup gets busy when it's on.
Access
There's a car park with free parking, along with roadside parking nearby.
