Devil's Rock
Devil's Rock takes its name from the dramatic, jagged rock formation that looms over the lineup. The wave is a consistent left that breaks below the rocks, offering barrel sections on good days and fun walls the rest of the time. It's one of the more reliable spots in the area, often working when the main points are too small or too big.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Devil's Rock?

What swell works best at Devil's Rock?
Devil's Rock picks up swell from the WNW round to the NNW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the NW.
