Punta Roca

Surf Guide

Like Noosa when small, like J-Bay when pumping, Punta Roca is a geographically flawless, cobblestone right point that sculpts steep walls and multiple barrel sections for nearly a half-mile. The wave itself offers such a tremendous variety of sections that it works for a wide range of skill levels. At the top of the point -- near the famously dangerous graveyard -- is where you'll see the lineup's alpha surfers getting round, driving tubes. Down the line a bit you'll see those same surfers cracking groomed, inviting lips. On down the point, there are more barrel sections and inviting turn sections, though it gets less perfect towards the tail end, which is called La Paz. But just one good wave at this famed and fabled right pointbreak, and you'll be smiling for a long time to come. LINEUP TIPS: Etiquette | Surf Safety Basics
