Description

Birdrock - La Jolla, California Birdrock features a rocky reef break with both left and right waves, ideal for shortboards, particularly at low tide.

Located just north of Pacific Beach Point, Birdrock is a popular surf destination in San Diego, attracting a crowded lineup. Surfers must navigate slippery rocks to reach the break, and respect is crucial among locals to ensure a good experience.
