Blowing Rocks Surf Guide

Blowing Rocks is named for the limestone rocks along the shoreline. When a sizable swell is running, geysers of whitewater spume through the outcroppings. Hollow lefts grind over the shallow reef on occasion. Stiff offshore winds keep the barrels open, but it's shallow. The place could easily cost you a fin or a pound of flesh. Blowing Rocks is super fickle and isn't worth surfing under four-feet.
