Rockpile is a surf spot located in La Jolla, accessed via Sea Lane. This area is known for its unique reef break, which can deliver decent waves depending on the conditions. While it can be a fun place to surf, it does get crowded when the waves are on, so be prepared to share the lineup.

This spot works best with south and northwest swells, handling sizes from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and up. The waves break over the RockLedge, providing both left and right rides. The ideal conditions happen during mid tides with east winds, where you can find quality walls that make for a better surfing experience. Make sure you check the tide and wind before heading out to catch the best waves.

While you’re out there, keep in mind that the crowd can pick up when the surf is good, so expect some company in the water. It's a solid spot for surfers looking for a reef break in the area, so if you get the timing right, you might have a good session.
