About this Spot

Rocky is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its right-hand wave direction and features a coral reef bottom, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The wave quality is considered world-class, although it only breaks sometimes, and the length of the wave is typically less than 50 meters. The spot is not usually crowded, with only a few surfers present. Rocky is situated in a little bay with a boat ramp, providing a great view and easy access. When heading to Rocky, it’s important to park in the car park down the bottom and paddle out and around the reef rather than through it, as this is easier. The area is known for localism, so it’s crucial to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Additionally, there are man-made dangers such as buoys, and the presence of sharks is something to be aware of. Nearby surf spots include Backdoor, Big Bommie, JD Reef, Iceys, and JD’s Shorey. Before heading out, make sure to check your skills to ensure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
