Cherry Point is a surf spot that caters mainly to the left-handers. It typically works best with bigger northeast swells, providing some fun waves for those looking to catch them. You'll find this spot set against an industrial backdrop, which gives it a unique feel, but don't expect any fancy scenery. The vibe here is pretty laid-back, making it a decent place to enjoy a surf session.

The surf at Cherry Point can be quite mushy, especially on smaller days, but it can handle swells ranging from 2ft (about 0.6m) and up. The best swells come from the northeast, with the east also contributing some decent rides. The waves generally break over boulders and sand, creating left-point waves. If you're heading out, the ideal time is during low to mid or even high tides. To catch the best conditions, look for northwesterly winds, which can help shape the waves a bit better. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so make sure you have your skills dialed in before taking the plunge.

While you're out there, keep in mind that the spot can get busy, especially when conditions are right. It’s a good idea to be friendly and follow some basic surf etiquette. Whether you're looking for a chill session or a spot to practice your lefts, Cherry Point can offer some decent waves on the right day.
