Overview
Cayton Bay - Point is a grinding, heavy left-hand pointbreak that breaks over a rock ledge. The first section is a super-shallow ledge that demands an air drop, dropping straight into a fast barrel before the wave mellows and a whackable wall wraps into the bay. It is a rippy, rocky and genuinely dangerous setup.
When It Works
The point draws swell from north through east-northeast to southeast (N-ENE-SE), with north swell the best match. It works from 1.8 m / 6 ft to 5.5 m / 18 ft, so it needs real size before the ledge and barrel section come to life.
Wind and Tide
Look for southwest offshore wind to groom the wall. The point favours high tide, and a rising tide is generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is an expert-only wave. The shallow ledge, rocky bottom and strong rips leave little room for error, and the lineup can get busy when it turns on, so choose your waves carefully.
Access
Getting in means a long walk down a treacherous path through the woods. On-street parking is extremely limited in a quiet residential area.
