Rocky Point

Rocky Point is a very sheltered reef break in the Margaret River area that offers consistent surf most notably during winter. Conditions are frequently rideable on the right swell, with July singled out as the best month for clean, surfable waves. The break is reported as predominantly left-hand and described as curving/peeling, with sheltered reef walls meaning it generally needs a larger (often massive) swell to really wrap in and start working. When the swell is right, it can hold size well and build to very large surf on winter events. Wind is a key part of the picture: the best wind direction is reported as southwest. Clean, surfable conditions are reported about 21% of the time in July, while blown-out conditions occur less often (about 8% in July). However, the spot is still commonly too small for most surfers (about 71% of the time), though it can be workable for beginners when waves are smaller. From a safety standpoint, the main hazards are rocks and submerged reef sections. Currents can include rip currents during larger swells, and shark presence is mentioned. There is no lifeguard presence reported for the spot, so riders should be prepared for limited rescue availability and avoid underestimating the risk around the reef.
