Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Saltwater Point?

The Saltwater Point profile does not specify a preferred tide stage. That does not mean tide has no effect: check local conditions alongside swell and wind.

What wind direction is offshore at Saltwater Point?

The Saltwater Point profile uses wind from SW (225°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 180° to 270°. 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 Saltwater Point?

The Saltwater Point scoring profile favors swell from ESE (45° to 185°), a swell-height range of 1.2m to 4.2m, and a reference period of 12s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
