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.

June at Express Point offers solid surf conditions with a dominant swell from the southwest and west-southwest, which is ideal for this break. The average swell height is 1.7m with a strong 13.0s period, providing powerful, well-spaced waves. The majority of swells fall in the 1-2.5m range, with the best consistency coming from SSW to WSW directions (peaking around 0.5-2.5m). Wind conditions are less favorable, with only 23% of days offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds. The most common winds are from the NNW to W sectors, often blowing 10-30kph, which can create choppy or onshore conditions. However, when winds align (typically lighter ENE or ESE), the spot works well, especially on SW swells. Expect a mix of smaller, rideable days and occasional overhead sessions, but patience is key due to the wind variability. Experienced surfers will find the best opportunities early mornings or during passing high-pressure windows.
