About This Break

Punta Roca is one of Santa Catalina's premier reef breaks, offering fast, powerful left-hand waves that peel across a shallow volcanic reef. Best suited for experienced surfers, the wave comes alive on South and Southwest swells with light offshore winds, producing hollow sections and long, high-performance rides. Located just a short boat ride or scenic walk from town, Punta Roca is typically less crowded than the famous La Punta, making it a favorite for surfers seeking quality waves in a spectacular tropical setting.
