North Point - surf spot statistics

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.

June at North Point delivers powerful and consistent surf, with an average swell height of 3.5m and a strong 13.8s period, indicating well-spaced, clean waves ideal for experienced surfers. The swell direction is predominantly from the SW to WSW (over 80% of waves 1.5m+), offering long, groomed lines with excellent shape. However, wind conditions are less favorable, as only 16% of the time are they ideal for surfing—primarily light offshore easterlies (ENE-E). The majority of winds come from the N through SW, often blowing 20-30+ kph, creating choppy or cross-shore conditions. Smaller windows of clean surf occur when winds are light E/ENE, but expect frequent onshore W/SW winds. Big-wave surfers will find the most opportunities, with 30% of waves exceeding 2.5m, but patience is required for optimal conditions. This is a high-performance month for skilled riders comfortable with size and wind variability.
