Roca Alta surf guide

Roca Alta is a surf spot that's known for its unique right-hand waves. Located in a coastal area, it’s a place where surfers of intermediate skill level can enjoy some interesting sessions. The vibe here is laid-back, and you'll find a mix of locals and visitors hitting the waves. The surroundings are pretty natural, giving a good feel of the outdoor surf scene.

The waves at Roca Alta work best with a northeast swell, but they can also handle southeast waves. They usually come in well at sizes around 2ft (0.6m). The breaks happen over dead coral, which can make for a fun ride, especially when the conditions are right. Most surfers prefer to hit the water during low to mid tides, but it can be surfed at high tide as well. Just keep in mind, it can get a bit shallow and tricky when the tide is low.

If you're planning to surf here, southwest winds are ideal, so check the forecast before heading out. Overall, Roca Alta is a decent spot for those looking to sharpen their skills and enjoy some good waves, just be ready for varying conditions.
