Devil's Rock

Devil's Rock

A sandbar beach break with prevailing lefts, best around mid tide. It stays surfable when the points are too big, which is what makes it the winter answer for a first week.

Devil's Rock is a sandbar beach break on the long beach below Tamraght, with prevailing lefts and rides of fifty to a hundred metres. It is the winter answer for a first week: when the points are too big to be sensible, this is still surfable.

Best around mid tide, on a northwest groundswell with a northeasterly offshore. January gives clean conditions 62% of the time, blown out 25%, and too small 13%.

It is unlikely to be too crowded even when the surf is up, and no guide names a hazard here. That is not the same as saying it is safe, but on this coast it is as close as the sources get.

What to watch for

No guide names a hazard here. That is not the same as safe.

Technical figures read off published surf guides. Where two disagree, the sheet says so.
