Uredd Monument

Uredd Monument is a remote Arctic point-break surf spot on a rocky coast, best surfed during mid-tide conditions in winter—especially January. The bottom is rock, with hazards both on the shore and submerged boulders, so the waterline can be unforgiving even when the wave itself is working. Wind is primarily frontal, and southeast/east winds are associated with the best setups. Sources also emphasize that conditions may vary: one description highlights that the point break is sheltered, while another notes it can be exposed to the elements. In practice, surfers should expect the spot to be weather-driven, particularly during stormy late autumn through winter. Wave quality is described as good (with some sources calling it average), with moderate wave power and a mix of peeling/mixed shapes. Working swell direction is reported as north-northwest / northwest, and the spot may require a substantial swell energy to wrap into the break effectively, with generally short rides. Because the spot is cold, remote, and rocky, preparation is essential. Expect extremely limited services at the monument itself and take a full winter kit (thick winter wetsuit with hood, gloves, and boots). Always check conditions carefully before entering the water.
