Rock Island is perfect for experienced surfers looking for a fast drop, thick wall, and hollow barreling end section. During the summer season, it's usually flat but if swell pops up, you will find a lot of longboarders here.

You will have to take a boat at the boat station in front of Kanaway Surf School. The round trip costs 250₱/4.40$/4€ per person (minimum 2 pax) and takes around 15-20 minutes. Rock Island and the neighboring Stimpy's Surf Spot, are just a short boat ride away from each other, so you can check out both before deciding which one to surf.

Direction: Right

Surf Level: Upper Intermediate - Advanced

Surfboard Rental: Available at Kanaway Surf School

Best wind: South

Best swell size: 4 - 12ft

Best swell direction: North East

Best tide: Mid tide. Low tide is fine but a little shallow. At high tide its quite fat & hard to catch but also working during bigger swells
