Visitor reviews of Seaside Point surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“It gets really good at the point! Getting in and out of the water mid way up the point can be tricky. The rip next to the rocks makes paddling seem effortless. The locals can be jerks, but they can also be really cool. Just be respectful, it goes a long way here. I just caught it double over head with only two others out for three hours!”

“More like 15 to 20 of your posers”
local from UNITED STATES - 26 Sep 2012
“Expect to get harassed the first time you paddle out here. Don't expect to get waves for a few sessions, don't expect a set wave on a good day for your first few years surfing here. The locals enforce and are quick to black list those who do not follow protocol.”

“Seaside Point is the best spot in the NW; the only problem is the "locals" think the spot belongs to them. Only show up if you have a big crew, like 6 or so bros.”
