Overview
Rocky Point is a reef break tucked between Tetas and Coronado at Punta Barco. The waves peel over uneven reef and sand, mostly as rights, though a few lefts shift around in front of the rivermouth. It needs just the right size of swell to break cleanly rather than close out, so timing the setup matters here.
When It Works
Rocky Point draws swell from south through southwest, with south swell the best match. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft, so you want enough size to get it going but not so much that it shuts down. Consistency is on the patchy side, so expect to wait for the right window rather than count on it every session.
Wind and Tide
Look for northwest offshore wind to clean up the faces. The reef is at its best around mid tide, and a rising tide is generally the better call.
Local Tips
This one suits intermediate surfers who can handle a shifting reef peak. The lineup tends to stay fairly quiet, so you should have room to find your rhythm when it's on.
Access
Getting to Rocky Point isn't straightforward, since the surrounding private real estate is expensive and hard to pass through. Parking comes in a mix of free, paid, and roadside options once you're in.
