Express Point - surf spot statistics

Express Point, Australia, offers consistent surf year-round, with the best conditions typically found from April through September. During these months, ground swell dominates (84-88%), providing clean, powerful waves with minimal wind interference. The mean swell size peaks at 1.9m in August and September, making late winter and early spring the prime time for surfers seeking larger, more reliable waves. Wind conditions improve slightly from April to June, with good winds occurring around 23-24% of the time, though onshore winds still prevail (76-77%). From July onward, wind quality dips slightly, but the swell remains strong and well-organized, particularly in August and September when ground swell frequency is highest (88%). The summer months (December-February) see a drop in swell quality, with higher wind swell influence (20-26%) and fewer favorable wind days (15-17%), leading to choppier, less predictable conditions. March and November act as transitional periods, where ground swell remains fairly consistent (80-83%), but wind conditions are less reliable. Overall, mid-autumn to early spring (April-September) delivers the most surfable days with cleaner waves, bigger swells, and a better chance of offshore winds, making it the optimal window for experienced surfers at Express Point.

February at Express Point offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid 11.7s period, indicating well-formed, consistent waves. The swell is predominantly from the SW, WSW, and S directions, with 62% of waves in the 1-2.5m range—ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. SW swells (27.89% in 1-1.5m) are the most frequent, often producing clean, powerful lines. However, the wind is only favorable 17% of the time, with light to moderate SSE to ESE winds occasionally offering offshore or cross-offshore conditions. Stronger onshore E/NE winds (over 20kph) can affect quality, especially during higher swell days. Expect smaller, manageable waves early in the month, with larger swells (1.5-2.5m) becoming more frequent later. Overall, it’s a reliable spot for those comfortable with mid-sized waves, though patience for cleaner wind windows is key.
