Slade Point

Slade Point is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. This spot is known for its right-hand waves that break over a coral reef bottom. It is a unique location that only breaks around high tide during strong south-easterly winds and cyclones. Surfers often consider checking out Slade Point when nearby Lamberts Beach is too intense. However, it’s important to note that the point break at Slade Point is rare and can be quite inconsistent due to a couple of large rocks off the point that block much of the potential swell. The waves here are generally less than 50 meters in length and are considered sloppy in quality, making it suitable for surfers of all levels, though it rarely draws a crowd. The spot is typically empty, providing a quiet surfing experience. To reach Slade Point, take Slade Point Road off Harbour Road and follow it around the bay. If you find yourself at Lamberts Beach, you’ve gone too far. When planning a surf session, it’s crucial to check the surf forecast and report, as well as the map and webcam for current conditions.
