Harbour Island/Whale Point Cut surf guide

Harbour Island/Whale Point Cut is a unique surf spot that can be a bit tricky to access. Harbour Island offers a consistent wave, while Whale Point Cut is more rare and sits at the end of the road. If you're looking for less crowded waves, this place might be worth your time.

At Harbour Island, you can catch some nice lefts that run down the reef, particularly on east swells. It works well with swell sizes around 4 ft (about 1.2 meters) and is best when the tide is dropping. Whale Point Cut serves up a righthand point setup, especially when there's a big north swell and the winds are slack or coming from the south. Both spots are optimal when the wind is coming from the southwest, so plan accordingly. They can handle low, mid, and high tides, making them flexible options for your surf sessions. This area leans towards intermediate surfers, so make sure you’re ready for what’s in store.

Both spots are known for breaking over dead coral, making them a bit more challenging and necessitating some care when paddling out. If you're looking to avoid the crowds and enjoy some solid surfing, Harbour Island/Whale Point Cut has potential, but remember it's not the easiest place to get to.
