Flatrock surf guide

Flatrock is a surf spot located in front of the pools, known for its right-hand waves. This spot can be a little hit or miss; while it can produce some fun rides, it’s not always the most consistent. When the conditions line up, it draws a crowd of bodyboarders and surfers looking for a solid wave. The atmosphere here is pretty laid-back, but you’ll want to come prepared, especially when the swell is on.

This spot really shines when the southeast swells roll in, ideally around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). Flatrock handles swells from the northeast and south, making it versatile depending on the day. The waves break over a reef and are known for being fast and hollow, often featuring tube sections that challenge even experienced surfers. The take-off zone can be tight, so you’ll need to be quick and on your game. Best conditions come with a northwesterly wind and mid to high tides, which help to keep the waves clean and rideable for experts looking to score some quality sessions.

Keep in mind that this spot is more suited for advanced surfers due to its quick drops and the nature of the reef break. It's worth checking the tide and swell forecasts before heading out to ensure you catch Flatrock when it’s firing. The vibe can get busy, especially when the swell hits, so be ready for a bit of competition in the lineup.
