Rocky Lefts and Rights surf guide

Rocky Lefts and Rights is a popular surf spot located at the end of Paora Road, just off the Surf Highway 45. It's known for its fun waves that appeal mainly to intermediate surfers. The place sits on a boulder point, offering both lefts and rights, which makes it an interesting spot for those looking to mix it up a bit. Conditions can be decent with moderate crowds and plenty of waves, so you’re likely to find a session that fits your vibe.

The left tends to work best with straight SouthWest swells, getting barrels that can be challenging for less experienced surfers. The right is more straightforward, providing a nice, shreddable wall for those looking to carve. The spot can handle swell sizes from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and is best surfed at mid to high tide to avoid the boulders. When the winds blow from the east, you really get to enjoy the waves here. Remember, though, this spot is ideal for those who are already comfortable on a board.

Besides the lefts and rights, Puniho Road nearby offers another option with another long left and a shorter right, but you’ll need at least mid tide to keep the boulders covered. Overall, Rocky Lefts and Rights is a solid choice for a surf session when conditions align, so be sure to check the forecast before heading out.
