The Rock

The Rock

The reef off Kabalana beach, a peak that breaks left and right and works at any tide. Clean roughly three days in four in January, which is why it fills up. Urchins over reef.

A month in figures

In January, the month the forecast guides single out for this coast:

  • 74%Clean and surfable
  • 15%Blown out
  • 11%Too small

Shares of the month, from the published forecast statistics. The model reads a grid, so neighbouring breaks share a figure: this describes a stretch of coast, not this wave on its own. The other eleven months are not published.

What to watch for

  • Sea urchins

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