Newport Point surf guide

Newport Point is a surf spot that can be pretty fickle. It tends to only break during certain conditions, mainly on hurricane swells coming from the south or southwest. When the stars align, though, you can catch some really solid waves here. It's famous for delivering a good mix of lefts and rights, especially when there's some east in the swell. The setup makes it a go-to spot, especially during the spring, summer, and autumn months.

This beach break can hold swell sizes between about 5ft (1.5 meters) and 12ft (3.7 meters). For the best results, aim for low to medium tides. The ideal wind is from the northeast. When everything lines up right, you can expect some nice barrels, and it easily ranks among the best spots in the area when it’s on. Just be ready to put in the effort because paddling can be tough when the waves are firing. It's a sandy bottom, so that’s a plus for anyone looking to charge without worrying about rocks.

Parking can be a bit tricky, so keep an eye out for street spots, but watch for street cleaning days. Expect big crowds here, especially when the waves are up, as lots of surfers flock to Newport Point for a good session. The local vibe can be pretty competitive, so it's every surfer for themselves out there. Be mindful of the crowd factor—it can feel like a pilgrimage during the best swells!
