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.

North Point in September offers powerful and consistent surf with an average swell height of 3.6m and a long-period groundswell of 14.0s, indicating high-quality, well-organized waves. The primary swell direction is SW, contributing the most significant wave energy, particularly in the 2-2.5m range (11.25%) and over 2.5m (3.16%), delivering powerful, hollow waves ideal for experienced surfers. Smaller but still notable contributions from SSW and WSW swells add variety to the lineup. Wind conditions are less favorable, with only 16% of the time offering ideal offshore winds. The predominant winds are from the W to SW, often blowing at 20-30kph (2.44-3.69%), creating challenging onshore/cross-shore conditions. However, when the wind aligns, the long-period SW swells produce world-class, barreling waves best suited for advanced surfers. Expect heavy, fast-breaking waves with occasional cleanup sets—definitely not for the faint-hearted.
