About Rocky Point

Rocky Point sits between Pipeline and Sunset on the Seven Mile Miracle, offering some of the most high-performance shortboard waves on the North Shore. The reef produces fast, hollow rights and lefts that break in relatively shallow water. It's less committal than Pipeline but still packs serious punch, making it a favorite for pros looking to free-surf between contests. The lineup is tight and competitive, but the wave rewards aggressive, vertical surfing.

Local Tip

A step down from Pipeline but still serious. Fast, hollow, and competitive. Best on medium-size NW swells.
