Birdrock is a reef break in La Jolla, CA. Multiple reef peaks break along the rocky shoreline between Bird Rock and the southern end of La Jolla. The main peak produces short, punchy rights and lefts that break over kelp-covered reef. Waves are typically in the waist-to-head-high range and rarely get overhead. Paddle out through the channels between reef sections to avoid getting worked on the shallow inside. The kelp beds can slow your paddling, so plan your entry. Best on a medium-period west swell that wraps into the reef at the right angle. Forecasts are updated every 3 hours using ML-corrected NOAA models with live buoy data from CDIP, NDBC, and IOOS stations.
