Surge Rocks are a group of five rocks in Antarctica. Of the five rocks, two are always exposed above water.
They are located 0.1nmi southwest of Eichorst Island and 0.60NaN0 south-southeast of Bonaparte Point, Anvers Island. The name was suggested by Palmer Station personnel in 1972. Ocean swells working on the shoal surrounding these rocks, cause breaking and a "surge" of the water level in any weather condition.
