Surf on a Rocky Coast is a 1835 oil by Andreas Achenbach, held at Hamburger Kunsthalle.
The painting shows a rocky coastline with waves crashing against the shore. The sky is cloudy, and the water is foamy and white. In the distance, you can see a ship sailing away from the viewer. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich and textured look. The artist has used a lot of detail to capture the movement of the waves and the roughness of the rocks.
