general information
Located on the Atlantic side of of the town James Cistern, James point sticks out exposed to all swells. There is a small bay here that has a couple of waves, but the cream is the fast right hander breaking off the point and walling up over a urchin covered reef for a couple of hundred metres on a good day. Due to orientation of the bay, winds are close enough to offshore in a southerly or southeastly, unlike most breaks on the island.
Bring a 4WD or be prepared to hike in the last couple of kms.
