A Guide to Surfing Seal Rocks and Adjacent Beaches.

As you can see by the map above, Seal Rocks is a quite unique place as there are 4 main beaches, 2 of which face south, and the other two face north. For anyone that know abouts surfing, this means somewhere at Seal Rocks will always be offshore.

The Swell direction at Seal Rocks can range from NE to S and anywhere in between. Also the southern beaches are hardly ever under 2 ft.
