It's a place where both beginners and more experienced surfers can find something to enjoy. The waves here can vary depending on the swell, but generally, you’ll find a mix of right-hand point breaks and other sections that can offer fun rides for all skill levels.

The optimal swell direction for Lauderdale Point is from the south, and it handles swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (0.6 meters). This spot features waves that break over uneven reef and sand, making it a bit different from your standard beach break. You can expect point waves, mostly right-handers, which can be ideal for those looking to practice or just enjoy the surf. The best conditions are generally seen with a low or mid tide, especially when the swell is coming from the south or southwest. For the most part, the wind behaves better when coming from the west.

Crowds can be a challenge at Lauderdale Point, especially on busier days. It's common to see more surfers vying for the same waves, so be prepared for some competition in the lineup. The ability to ride the waves here suits beginners well, but keep in mind that the more overhead conditions can be a bit trickier and less welcoming. The vibe here is generally chill, so grab your board and enjoy what Lauderdale Point has to offer.
