Fishermans Point is a popular surf spot located close to town, known for its long rides and consistent waves. It's a place where many locals hang out, and you’ll often see canoes lined up along the beach thanks to the local fishermen. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great place to unwind before or after catching some waves.

The surf here is best for intermediates and up, especially when the swell finally shows up. Fishermans Point works well with south and west swells, handling sizes from about 0.6 meters to 2.4 meters. The waves break over a mix of boulders and sand, providing both left and right options. You can expect some nice long rides, reaching up to 500 meters, which makes it pretty good for longboarding. When the conditions are right, you might even score some peeling tubes, especially with a southeast wind. It’s worth checking the tide levels; it works well during low, mid, and high tides, so there’s usually something to ride.

For those looking to maximize their session, keep an eye on the swell direction and prefer the southeast winds for the best conditions. While it can be fickle, when it’s on, Fishermans Point can deliver quality waves that you won’t forget. Just remember to be mindful of the local fishermen and other surfers sharing the waves.
