The Point surf guide

The Point is part of the Maria's surf area, specifically the upper section that breaks above a prominent reef. This spot can offer some solid waves, particularly under the right conditions, but it’s not consistently amazing. When everything aligns, you can expect decent surf here, but there are days when it doesn’t quite hit the mark. Crowds can gather quickly, especially when the swell is good, so be prepared for competition in the water.

The surf at The Point usually breaks right and can handle swell sizes from 1.2 meters (4 ft) up to 3 meters (10 ft). With the right Northwest or North-Northwest swells, you might find that the wave shoulders up and offers some fun rides, especially during those strong seasons in autumn and winter. Lower tides tend to be better, and you’ll want wind coming from the North-East or anywhere in the E to get the best conditions. For beginners, it’s a bit tough due to the shape and the paddling effort required, but intermediates and experts will likely find it enjoyable when the waves are on.

Access to The Point is straightforward; you can park right there. Just be aware that once you’re in the water, you might encounter some local surfers who might not be overly friendly. The environment can sometimes be a bit messy after rains, so keep that in mind. Overall, it's a spot that can be fun and worth checking out, especially if you know when to go.
