Rolling Stones surf guide

Rolling Stones is a surf spot located near Grindavík, known for its unique boulder reef setup. The area is a bit remote, so you won’t find crowds of surfers here, making it a nice spot for those who prefer solo sessions. To get there, drive into Grindavík towards the harbor, take a left, and follow a dirt road down to the beach. After parking, you’ll need to hike up a small hill to access the waves.

This spot works best with a southwest swell, ideally from the South or Southwest, handling swell sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). You can catch lefts and rights breaking over the boulders, but it’s worth noting that the waves can get quite shallow on low tide. The ideal wind direction is from the east, and the best tides are low to mid. It's recommended for intermediate surfers who are comfortable navigating the boulder reef setup.

Rolling Stones has low consistency, so it may not always be firing, but when conditions align, it can offer a decent session. The lack of crowds can make for a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for those looking to escape the busier spots. Just keep an eye on the tide, as it can change the conditions quickly.
