Rockies

Rockies is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia, to the right of Eimeo Beach or down from Dolphin Heads, approximately 20 minutes north of Mackay. This spot is known for its occasional waves that can break both left and right, providing opportunities for surfers of all levels. The seabed at Rockies consists of sand and rocks, which influences the wave formation. The waves here are generally less than 50 meters in length and tend to break best at high tide. However, the spot only breaks nicely on rare occasions, and surfers should not rely on consistent conditions. The crowd at Rockies is typically empty, offering a more solitary surfing experience. It is important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out, as the frequency of waves is not high. Surfers should also be aware of the surf map and webcam to get a better understanding of the current conditions. While the quality of the waves is considered normal, it is crucial to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Additionally, always respect the locals and be mindful of surf etiquette, especially when surfing crowded spots. Remember, the key to a good surfing experience is understanding the difficulty of the spot and ensuring it aligns with your abilities. Respect the locals.
