Crocodile Rock Surf Forecast Guide

Overview

Crocodile Rock is a mellow right-hand point that breaks over sand, sitting just south of the landmark it takes its name from. The rights tend to be soft and mushy, so it's a spot built for relaxed, easygoing sessions rather than powerful surf.

When It Works

The point draws swell from south through north, with southeast (SE) swell the best match. It's usable from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft, giving a decent working window across smaller and mid-sized days. Consistency is moderate, so it won't fire every day, but there are worthwhile windows when the swell lines up.

Wind and Tide

Look for southwest (SW) offshore wind to clean up the rights. The point can work through low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

This is a forgiving, beginner-friendly wave with a mellow feel, which makes it a comfortable place to find your feet on a point. Expect a fairly quiet lineup when it's working.

Access

Getting here takes a 20-minute walk from the new houses at the end of the road, including crossing two rivermouths where you stand a good chance of running into wildlife. That walk keeps the crowds low.
