Rolling Stones surf guide

Rolling Stones is a surf spot located around the headland, reachable via a small track that leads down the cliff. It's named after the large boulders scattered across the seabed, which definitely plays a role in the overall vibe of the place. The spot offers some solid waves but is best suited for more experienced surfers due to the conditions and the nature of the break.

When the conditions are right, particularly with a quality S-SW swell, Rolling Stones can morph into a decent righthand point break. The waves here tend to be hollow and can produce some solid top-to-bottom barrels as they roll down the boulder bank, but the gnashing rocks make it pretty gnarly, especially at high tide. The spot works best with a swell size around 4 ft (1.2 meters), and the optimal swell direction is south, but it also handles southeast and southwest swells. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide and catch it when the wind's blowing from the north.

This spot is definitely for expert surfers who are comfortable in heavy water. The wave on the right is the main attraction, and while there's also a lesser left, it's the right that brings the thrill. Due to the boulders underneath, make sure you're fully aware of your surroundings and ready for a challenge when you hit this spot.
