North Palmetto Point surf guide

North Palmetto Point is a surf spot located at a distance from the beach, featuring powerful waves that break over multiple reefs and Diamond Cay. The surf can be intense here, and while it's not the easiest place to access, the effort can be worth it for seasoned surfers. Expect a scenic and rugged environment that adds to the experience.

The waves at North Palmetto Point work best with a southeast swell direction, but they can handle swells coming from the north and south as well. This spot is ideal for waves around 4ft (about 1.2 meters) high. Surfers will find both left and right reef breaks here. For optimal conditions, a southwest wind is preferred, and the best time to surf is during mid tide. Keep in mind that this spot is more suited for expert surfers due to its challenging nature.

Accessing North Palmetto Point is best done by boat, as it's quite far to paddle from the shore. The coral reef can create some sharp drops, so be aware of your surroundings. This spot can deliver some solid barrel action if the conditions are right, making it a worthwhile destination for experienced surfers looking for a thrill.
