Northeast Point is a surf spot that can be hit or miss. It holds a short right-hand wave that only comes to life during high tides. Because it’s shielded from the swell by surrounding islets, it can be pretty inconsistent, and you might find yourself waiting around for the right swell. The best conditions usually require some easterly swell to really get going.

The wave at Northeast Point mostly breaks over dead coral, which creates a right-hand reef break that’s best suited for expert surfers. The optimal swell direction is from the east, but it can also work with northeast and southeast swells. It can handle swell sizes of about 3 feet (roughly 0.9 meters), so you’ll want to keep an eye on the conditions. The wind is generally best coming from the west, and to catch this wave at its prime, make sure you’re out there during high tide.

Since this spot is not known for consistent waves, it's a good idea to check the surf forecast before heading out. Experienced surfers may enjoy the challenge it presents, especially when conditions align just right. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait in between sets!
