About

At RockView St in Santa Cruz, the waves break right over flat rocks, offering a barrel that demands respect from the intermediate surfer. The swell, arriving from the west and southwest, stirs up the ocean when it reaches less than 1 meter and can hold its power up to 5 meters or more. Best surfed during low to mid tide with a rising tide, the spot thrives under an east or northeast wind, though caution is advised due to rocky hazards. The atmosphere is electric, yet it carries the weight of local rivalry; surf with humility and watch the water dance.
