Saltwater Point surf guide

Saltwater Point is a surf spot that offers a unique experience for surfers looking for righthand point breaks. It's got a vibe that can change with different swells, and you’ll notice how it interacts with the wind and tide. The setting includes some river-fed sandbars on the back beach, so while you’re catching waves, there’s also some interesting terrain to explore if you’re up for it.

The surf here works best with an east swell, but you can catch some action with noreaster and south swells too. It generally handles swell sizes around 2ft (0.6 meters) and breaks over an uneven reef. The waves here are mostly point waves that angle to the right, so you're in for some fun rides, especially on the outside walls. Just be ready for some tricky take-offs, as it can get sucky at times. It's a decent spot for intermediates and longboarders, particularly when the wind is coming from the southwest and the tide is low, mid, or high.

If you’re looking to explore further, head south to check out Diamond Beach and Black Head, where you’ll find more righthand breaks. Each spot has its own personality, so it’s worth seeing what suits your style. Just keep in mind that Saltwater Point can be moodier with swells, so pay attention to the conditions before paddling out.
