Rocky's surf guide

Rocky’s is a surf spot known for its unique features, but it's not the most popular choice among surfers. Located near a rocky coastline, the surf here can get pretty intense, and it generally attracts more experienced surfers due to the challenging conditions. While it can serve up some fun rides, it doesn’t see as much traffic as some of the other local spots.

The waves at Rocky's work best with southeast and southwest swells, breaking over an uneven reef. This setup can produce decent surf, handling sizes around 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters). You’ll mostly find lefts here, and it’s important to be aware that the take-offs can be heavy, with thick lips that may catch less experienced surfers off guard. The ideal wind direction is northwest, and low to mid tide is recommended for the best conditions. Overall, it's a spot that calls for expert abilities, especially when the surf is firing.

Accessing the break may require paddling over a sharky channel, so keep that in mind if you decide to head out. While it can produce some proper barrels, it's not a consistent spot, so checking the conditions before you go is smart. If you’re looking for a challenge and enjoy less crowded waves, Rocky’s could be worth a visit.
