The Rock at Costa Azul is a popular surf spot located on the southern shore. It's known for being consistently crowded, attracting both locals and visitors looking for a fun ride. This spot is best suited for experienced surfers due to its rocky bottom and the challenges it presents. You can access it by parking at Zippers or finding a spot near Cabo Surf Hotel and walking over.

This wave is a right, reef break that generally performs well with a southeast or southwest swell. It can handle sizes from about 5ft to 10ft (1.5m to 3m), and it usually works best at mid to high tide. The takeoff area is pretty tight, right next to the rock, which makes it competitive when the crowds show up. While the wave can be a bit mushy in some parts, it can also get really fun, especially on a strong south swell. Just be ready to navigate some uneven reef and watch out for those sharp rocks, particularly at low tide when they get exposed.

The paddling effort is light, but don't underestimate the crowd factor, as it can get heavy quickly. The optimal wind direction is from the south, and the season typically runs from spring through autumn. It's a good spot for shortboards or fish, so bring the right gear if you plan to hit the water. Overall, while it might not be the best wave in the area, The Rock still offers a decent surf experience for those who know what they’re doing.
