West Point on the East Coast is an exposed point break that has fairly consistent surf. Winter and spring are the optimum times of year to visit. The best wind direction is from the south. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell angle is from the north. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Beware of rips and rocks.
