Big Rock is a surf spot located just south of Windansea, often referred to as Moids or Lobster Lounge. It’s known for its powerful waves and is primarily suited for experienced surfers. The area features a rocky ledge, which can make for tricky conditions, so it's important to be on your game when you paddle out. The vibe here can get a bit aggressive, especially in the lineup, so be prepared for some competition.
The waves at Big Rock can pack a punch, with a typical swell height ranging from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) to several feet overhead. The best conditions are found when a west swell is rolling in, although it can also handle swells from the south and northwest. This spot is known for left-breaking waves on a reef, making it a fun but challenging ride. Mid to high tide is when you’ll find the best sessions, and if the wind is coming from the east, that's even better for those seeking clean waves.
If you're into tuberiding, this place caters to experts only. The heavy and hollow nature of the waves means it’s all about skill and confidence. Just be mindful of the dangerous rocks and the tight take-off zone; knowing how to navigate that is key to getting the most out of Big Rock. So, if you’re up for the challenge and have the experience, it might just be worth your while.
