Fido Point is a surf spot that many locals and visiting surfers know about. It can get pretty crowded, especially during good swells. The vibe is laid-back, but you might find that some locals aren’t the most welcoming, so just keep that in mind when you paddle out. It’s located near a broken jetty, which adds to the mix of the area’s surf scene.
The waves here can be pretty fun if the conditions line up just right. You’ll mostly find short punchy right-hand waves breaking over boulders and sand. The optimal swell direction is from the north, and the spot works well with swells from both the north and east. Fido Point can handle swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it a decent spot for intermediate surfers. To get the best waves, aim to surf during low to mid to high tide, and check the wind—south winds are preferred here.
If you’re looking for some variety, the different swell directions and the way the waves break can offer some exciting rides. Just be prepared for the crowd and respect the locals. Enjoy your time out there!
