Shoals Point surf guide

Shoals Point is a surf spot that offers a mix of fun and challenging conditions for surfers. It’s generally pretty consistent, especially with the right swell and wind combos. With beautiful views and unique grizzled lava rocks around, it can be an interesting place for surfers looking to hit some waves. Just a heads up, it’s better suited for those who are more experienced.

The spot really works best with south swell directions and can handle sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) up to overhead conditions. The waves come in as points and mainly break right, which can be fun for regular footers. When the wind is from the north, you’ll find the conditions clean and more enjoyable. The tide can be low, mid, or high, and Shoals Point usually performs well across all these heights, making it versatile depending on the day.

Keep in mind, the reef can be uneven, which adds a bit of power to the waves. This means that it can get sketchy when the swell picks up, so only expert surfers should take on the larger days. If the swell is massive, you might want to check out the nearby Wall, which tends to be a safer bet. Overall, Shoals Point can deliver some decent sessions if you know what you’re doing.
