North Point Surf Report

One of Western Australia's most spectacular right-hand reef breaks, North Point is famous for powerful barrels, a shallow inside section and world-class performances when a solid Indian Ocean swell lights up the Margaret River coast.

North Point sits on the northern side of Cowaramup Bay at Gracetown, in the Margaret River region. When a solid southwest groundswell meets easterly offshore winds, the reef produces a fast, hollow right with an outside barrel followed by an extremely powerful inside section. It has been used as an alternate competition venue for the Margaret River Pro when conditions align.

North Point is one of Western Australia's premier heavy-water right-handers. Located at Gracetown in the Margaret River region, the wave comes alive when powerful Indian Ocean groundswell wraps into Cowaramup Bay and meets clean easterly offshore winds. A fast outside barrel leads toward an exceptionally powerful and shallow inside section, producing one of Australia's most photogenic—and demanding—reef waves. Reserved primarily for advanced and expert surfers, North Point has hosted elite Championship Tour surfing and represents the raw power and quality that have made Margaret River internationally famous.
