About this Spot

Rockview Street is a surf spot located in Bay Area, California. The spot provides right and left waves. It’s characterized by an exposed reef break that offers very consistent surf conditions. The bottom is rocky, so surfers should be cautious of potential hazards. Rockview Street is suitable for all experience levels, but it’s important to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing ability. The spot works best during low and medium tides. Wave length typically ranges from 50 to 150 meters. The surf spot is known for its relatively uncrowded conditions, providing a more secluded surfing experience. Rockview Street features two reefs: an inside reef and an outside reef, both offering enjoyable rides. The inside reef forms a ledgy, slabby bowl that breaks off shallow rock, while the outside reef performs well during very low tides and overhead-plus conditions. Surfers should be particularly careful on the inside left, as the wave becomes increasingly hollow and eventually breaks over dry reef. It’s crucial to watch for rocks, especially during low tides when water levels can be shallow over the rocky bottom. The spot is located on Rockview Ave, between Sewers and Wind n’ Sea. Nearby surf spots include 26th Ave, Pleasure Point, The Hook, Santa Maria, and Sunny Cove. When checking the surf forecast or report for Rockview Street, consider factors such as swell direction and wind conditions. While the spot is generally not crowded, it’s always important to respect local surfers and follow proper surf etiquette. Remember to stay aware of your surroundings, including potential pollution in the area. Rockview Street offers a mix of wave speeds, from not-so-fast to potentially big, making it a fun and diverse surf spot overall.
