Lineup Insights
The Wave
When a southerly or southwest groundswell arrives it wraps into the point and produces longer, often left-hand faces-cleanest when winds are offshore from the northwest.
The break can work across a range of tides but mid incoming to mid outgoing tides commonly line up the sandbars best.
Lineup Guide
The Point sits where Bogue Inlet and the open Atlantic meet, so strong tidal currents and migrating sandbars drive unpredictable peaks and strong rip lines.
Parking is limited and the lineup stays light because access requires a walk.
