Overview
Seal Point sits out on the tip of the bay and breaks as a right-hand point over a rock ledge. The peak is split into two sections by the Full Stop rock, and it carries a sharky reputation.
When It Works
It draws swell from east through south to southwest, with southeast swell the best match. On the bigger southeast days the two sections can link up into a long, fast ride with barrel and carve sections. Seal Point works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 3 m / 10 ft and stays consistent, often coming into its own when J-Bay is too small.
Wind and Tide
Offshore is a west wind, though on the bigger swells the window opens up and anything from south to northwest will work. It breaks across low, mid, and high tide, and a rising tide is generally the better call. The inside section prefers higher tides, while the outside holds up well at high.
Local Tips
This is an intermediate-friendly wave, and you can expect a moderately busy lineup when it's on.
Access
There's a car park with free parking.
