Newport Point is a classic right-hand point break located along Orange County's iconic coastline, where consistent swells wrap around the rocky headland and peel along sandy-bottomed shoulders. The wave's NNE-facing orientation captures Southern Hemisphere swells beautifully during fall and winter months, offering peeling waves that can reach overhead heights with the right swell direction. This semi-protected break provides a mellower alternative to some of the region's more intense spots, making it accessible to intermediate surfers while still offering quality shape and length.
