Rosie's Bay surf guide

Rosie's Bay is a rocky little cove located between Chesterman and Cox. It's known for having punchy and sectiony peaks that can create some fun waves. The spot tends to draw in local shortboarders looking for a quick session. If you're after a spot that's a bit off the beaten track, this could be the place for you.

The best surf at Rosie's Bay comes when the swell is from the west, but it can also work with south-west and north-west swells. It handles swell sizes starting from around 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and breaks over an uneven reef and sand, which can make things interesting. You're likely to find primarily lefts, but there are rights as well. Lower to mid tides are preferable for the best conditions, and it's a good spot for intermediate surfers looking to challenge themselves.

When it comes to wind, easterly conditions are ideal here. Just make sure to check the tides before you head out for the best experience. Rosie's Bay is a solid option for those who know how to navigate a rocky break and want to enjoy some decent surf without the crowds.
