About this Spot

The ideal tide conditions for surfing here are low to medium tides. The wave quality is considered normal, and it is suitable for surfers of all experience levels. However, it is important to note that Rocky Point rarely breaks, and when it does, the wave length is typically less than 50 meters. The spot is usually empty, providing a less crowded experience for surfers. Surfers should be cautious of the slippery sharp rocks with oysters, and it is advisable to wear booties for protection. Additionally, there are sharks in the area, so surfers should remain vigilant. The coastline in the Cairns area, where Rocky Point is located, is considered one of the best, but conditions need to align perfectly for optimal surfing. Before heading out, surfers should check the surf forecast, report, and map to ensure the conditions are favorable. It’s also a good idea to check the webcam for real-time updates. Surfers are reminded to respect the locals, check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots, and assess their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their surfing level.
