North Point Surf Guide

North Point on the North Coast is an exposed beach and reef break that has quite reliable surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Works best in offshore winds from the south. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the northeast. A right hand reef break. It very rarely gets crowded here. Watch out for rocks.
