North Point seasonal overview
North Point in Australia receives consistent ground swell year-round, with minimal wind swell influence and no days of flat conditions, making it a highly reliable surf spot. The best months for surfers are April through September, when the mean swell size peaks between 2.7m and 3.7m, offering powerful and well-formed waves. However, wind conditions are challenging, with bad onshore winds dominating over 70% of the time in every month. The cleanest sessions are most likely in April and May, where good wind conditions reach 27% and 24% respectively, despite still being relatively rare. Swell size is largest from June to August, averaging 3.5m+, but wind quality remains poor, meaning surfers will often need to contend with choppy or cross-shore winds. Early season (March-May) and late season (October) provide a slightly better balance of solid swell (2.4m-3.1m) and marginally improved wind chances. Overall, North Point is a world-class wave with powerful, clean groundswell, but surfers should expect less-than-ideal winds most of the year, prioritizing swell consistency over perfect conditions.
