YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Short, intense right point over uneven reef off the end of Tingira Drive. Good in most swells except S (too much current, no shape); summer cyclone/E swells are the standouts. Holds 8-10 ft then shuts down - that's Guillotines' cue. It works best on an E swell with WSW winds around mid tide. Watch for: shallow reef, rips/undertow, urchins, localism.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Bawley Point?

The Bawley Point profile favors mid tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Bawley Point?

The Bawley Point profile uses wind from WSW (250°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 205° to 295°. 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 Bawley Point?

The Bawley Point scoring profile favors swell from E (35° to 150°), a swell-height range of 1m to 3m, and a reference period of 13s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
