Overview
Point Leo is a right-hand point that peels over a mix of uneven reef and sand. The main peak, Suicides, is a playful right point with long, workable walls, and its predictable, fairly safe nature makes it a great spot for improvers to log some hours.
When It Works
The point draws swell from the south to southwest, with a south swell the best match. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft, though it can be somewhat inconsistent. On bigger swells carrying a good dose of south, the incoming tide really lights up those long walls. When there isn't enough size for the point, nearby breaks like Peak Rock, Crunchies Pt and 1st Reef pick up the slack with a steeper but shorter wave.
Wind and Tide
Look for west offshore wind. The point favors mid to high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call. Watch the shelf at low tide, where it gets shallow.
Local Tips
This is a friendly place for beginners to find their feet, so expect a busy lineup when it's on. Just to the south, Shoreham's Pines is another quality right point with long walls that break in similar conditions.
Access
There's a car park with paid parking, along with restrooms and showers.
