More about Walton Rocks surfspot
General: Walton Rocks is one of the many small, coastal parks on South Hutchinson Island. In the post-jetty era, a powerful left fires over a well-tapered reef a few times a year, but usually the surf is weak and likes to section. The place is incredibly fickle, but seems to like a strong NE swell, stiff offshore winds, and mid-tides. Walton Rocks' reef is very shallow. The few rights that break against the grain are tempting but gnarly, and the inside is exceptionally perilous. Be careful not to get your leash caught on the pinnacles. Tides: Mid-tides, incoming is best Size: Shoulder-few feet overhead Wind: SSW-WNW Swell: NE Bottom: Reef Paddling: Not bad on average days but can be challenging paddle on bigger days. Spot Rating: Spot for experienced surfers only. This can handle some size and the bottom is mostly reef with some sand patches. Access is easy but lonely, so lock your stuff in your trunk.
Intermediate to expert, definitely not a beginner level spot.
Free parking, free break-ins. This is in a somewhat secluded area.
Fall-Spring, Hurricane
Crowd Factor: Light. Local Vibe: None really.
Clean ocean water.
Known what is under you, solid reef, can get very shallow around lower tides.
