Mole Point surf guide

Mole Point is a surf spot located on the south side of Point Joe, where you can often see surfers in the background while people are teeing off at Pebble Beach. It's a kelpy right reef with a solid vibe and offers a unique surfing experience. The wave can get juicy, maxing out at around 8 feet (about 2.4 meters), making it suitable for those looking to catch some decent action.

The surf here works best with swells coming from the South, South-West, West, and even North-West, and it can handle sizes ranging from about 3 feet (0.9 meters) to 8 feet (2.4 meters). The wave breaks over both rock and sand, with a right-hand wave direction that caters to intermediate and expert surfers. For the best conditions, aim for medium to high tides and a wind blowing from the East, East-South-East, or South-East. It’s recommended to use shortboards, funboards, or guns depending on your skill level and the wave height.

Getting to Mole Point is pretty easy with parking available along the road. Just keep in mind that it can get crowded in the tight area, especially during peak times. The local vibe is noticeable, so be respectful of the surfers who often call this spot home. Overall, it’s a clean environment, but be cautious of hazards like bad slices, rocks, and kelp that can catch you off guard. This spot is surfable year-round and tends to be more favorable during the spring, summer, and autumn months.
