Rocky Point, characterized by its expansive, flat, curving reef stretching approximately 250 yards wide, stands out as one of the most dependable waves on the North Shore. Regardless of the winter swell direction, it consistently delivers waves reaching up to double overhead-plus. Remarkably, Rocky's manages to appease even the most crowded lineups by offering a diverse range of waves, from mellow walls to pristine barrels to sections ripe for aerial maneuvers.

The break at Rocky's is commonly divided into two sections: Rocky Rights and Rocky Lefts. However, within these divisions lie several distinct takeoff points, each catering to varying conditions. Starting from the west side near Pupukea, surfers encounter:

1. A series of peaks predominantly offering rights during N-NW swells, occasionally culminating in closeouts but often providing pristine walls and tube opportunities.

2. A well-defined right wall/left peak combination during W-NW swells, with the left occasionally peeling across the length of the reef.

3. A high-quality, walling left peak forming during W swells, positioned outside the middle of the reef and known as the prime Rocky's wave, offering barrels or clean peelers towards the northern channel.

4. A sharp, wedging left (and sometimes right) pitching off the northern edge of the reef.

5. A sucky shorebreak/reform left further inside, ideal for adventurous surfers seeking airs and small barrels.
