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.

In March, North Point, Australia, offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 2.4m and a strong period of 13.2s, ensuring powerful and well-formed waves. The dominant swell direction is primarily from the SW, contributing significantly to wave heights between 1.5-2.5m, with the highest frequency (21.58%) occurring in the 2-2.5m range from the SW. This indicates consistent, quality waves for experienced surfers. However, wind conditions are less favorable, with only 22% of the time offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds for surfing. The predominant winds come from the SE to S and tend to be moderate to strong (10-30kph), which can create choppy or onshore conditions, reducing wave quality. Despite this, the strong, clean SW swell ensures solid surf opportunities when winds align. Advanced surfers will find the best sessions during early mornings or when wind patterns shift favorably. Overall, March provides good waves, but wind variability requires patience for optimal conditions.
