Buffalo Point surf guide

Buffalo Point is a surf spot that tends to be pretty consistent, offering waves for riders. It functions best with a south swell and can handle swell sizes around 3ft (about 0.9m). The spot breaks over a mix of boulders and sand, so you’ll want to be mindful of your take-offs. It’s generally a right-hand point wave, which can be fun for those who ride that direction. 

The best conditions here happen with a moderate southeast swell and northeast winds. You might find that the waves get a bit messy and short with a southwest swell and wind, but overall, Buffalo Point usually has something for you to ride. The spot works well at low, mid, and high tide, making it a versatile option for surfers. While it’s not exactly a high-performance spot, it’s ideal for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy some rides without too much hassle.

Besides just surfing, keep your eyes peeled for large fish in the area; it's definitely a place where you might spot some interesting marine life. So, pack your board and check out Buffalo Point when you're in the mood for a session.
