Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Point Mussulo?

The Point Mussulo profile favors mid tide, ideally between 0.3m and 1.5m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Point Mussulo?

The Point Mussulo profile uses wind from E (90°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 60° to 130°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Point Mussulo?

The Point Mussulo scoring profile favors swell from SW (200° to 260°), a swell-height range of 1m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
