Fort Point

Fort Point is a remote, exposed headland point break near the northern tip of Montserrat, where surf typically favors offshore trade-wind conditions. Winter is the best season, with reported best alignment when a North-northwest swell combines with offshore east-northeast winds. Wave reports describe a powerful, hollow/peeling point setup that can hold size well on larger swells. Conditions are generally described as good with long ride potential—some reports cite rides roughly in the 100–200 meter range on consistent days, and longer ranges (up to about 150–300 meters) in other accounts. The spot is small and has a rocky, ledgey bottom with exposed/submerged rocks and sea urchins. Entry is described as a rocky scramble, and additional safety concerns include possible rips/undertow, currents that can pull riders along the point toward the bay, and occasional shark mention in hazard lists. Crowding is consistently reported as low (rarely crowded), but there are no lifeguards or dedicated rescue services. Gear notes emphasize using a leash and booties for sharp rocky/urchin protection, plus checking swell conditions closely before committing to the entry.
