Pink Rocks surf FAQ

Is Pink Rocks good for beginners?+

Pink Rocks is a reef break over coral, usually breaking in the 2.1–6.300000000000001m range, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. The coral bottom rewards some confidence in the water and awareness of what's beneath you, especially as the size picks up. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.
