Osprey Point needs a solid WSW-to-W swell in the 4-8 foot range to start wrapping around the point. Best on a mid-to-low incoming tide (2-3.5 ft) which exposes enough reef for the wave to break with shape but keeps the inside rideable. Light ENE offshore winds are essential—any side-shore texture ruins the wave face on the takeoff. This spot fires maybe 15-20 days per winter when everything aligns. It's worth watching from the cliff first to time the sets and identify the takeoff zone before paddling out.
