About This Spot
Smaller cove just south of Linda Mar, Rockaway Beach offers punchy peaks and occasional barrels when sandbars align. The northern corner has a rock reef that produces a wedgy right. Currents can be strong and it closes out on big swells.
Local Etiquette
Give locals priority at the reef; be cautious when paddling near rocks.
