point breaks

Point breaks are a type of ocean wave that breaks as it wraps around a point of land or reef extending into the water.

Unlike beach breaks, which form over sandy bottoms and can shift, point breaks create consistent, predictable waves that peel in one direction, making them prized among surfers.

Famous point breaks like Rincon in California or Jeffreys Bay in South Africa attract riders seeking long, rideable waves.
