The Point surf guide

The Point is located on the western end of Emerald Isle. It’s a spot that doesn’t get a lot of traffic, mainly because there’s hardly any parking available. This can make it tough to access, but if you make the effort, you might find some decent waves to catch. Keep in mind, though, that it's not the easiest spot to get to, and the currents can get strong here, so be aware of your surroundings.

The surf here tends to be changeable, but it frequently offers left waves that can break hollow when the swells get bigger. The optimal swell direction is from the SouthWest, but you can also catch some action when the swell comes from the East or SouthWest. It generally handles swell sizes around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters) well. The waves break over sand, and you can get both left and right rides depending on how the conditions align. For best results, aim for a NE wind, which cleans up the waves nicely. When it comes to tides, The Point works well across low, mid, and high tides, making it accessible for different surf sessions. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers due to the variable conditions and challenges.

Keep in mind that finding a good parking spot can be a hassle since there are no public lots nearby. Given its location and the lack of crowds, it can be a good choice if you’re looking for something a bit quieter compared to other more popular spots on the Isle. Make sure to check the swell and wind conditions before heading out to get the most out of your surfing experience at The Point.
