About
Rockaway Beach, nestled in San Mateo, California, offers a rugged charm with its reef-rocky waves that break right and left, delivering barrels for those who seek them. The waves come alive at low to mid tide, starting to work at a modest 3 to 5 feet and holding strong up to 10 feet when the ocean stirs. The sandy bottom, interspersed with rocky outcrops, adds an element of thrill and caution to your ride. This spot draws a close-knit surfing community, where the rhythm of the waves meets the warmth of camaraderie, a testament to the salty spirit of the sea.
