Kirbys Point is a surf spot known for its average beachbreaks located along a stretch with short jetties. It's a place where surfers can catch some waves, but don’t expect it to be the hotspot of the area. The main swell direction is from the NorthEast, with the best conditions often seen during higher tide levels. While it can be surfed year-round, summer can bring some unexpected local wildlife with jellyfish and greenhead flies hanging around.
The surf here typically handles swell sizes starting from about 2ft (0.6 meters) and can work well with waves breaking over sand. You can find both left and right waves, making it a bit versatile for different riding styles. Beginners will find it suitable, especially during low to mid to high tidal conditions. If the wind is coming from the west, that’s usually when the waves tend to clean up nicely. While it may not be the best point break in the area, it can still provide a decent session if the conditions align.
During summer, be prepared for more fishermen than surfers, which can make for a crowded beach atmosphere at times. It's always good to check the local conditions before heading out to maximize your time in the water. If you're looking for a chill day in the waves, Kirbys Point can be worth a visit.
