North Point
Edit SpotAbout
Park in the lot facing the break of on the road if lot is full (don't worry, full lot doesn't mean they're al surfers). The wave comes out of deep water and breaks on a rock ledge about 3 feet deep. Most drops are late, fast, freefalls. When the swell is driven by a strong south wind there is a vicious current dragging you arouth the point. If you are stuck in it just let it take you and paddle towards shore, walk up the beach and re-enter the break further down. The wave itself is a sick, hollow, left-handed barrel. It's only spot that I know of on the Great Lakes where boards have been broken.
