Surfing the Great Lakes book mentions Huronview Park which should work on N, NW winds. But I did not find such place on the map. I would think of Canatara Beach as the most perspective surf spot in Sarnia, ON, which could work on North winds.

Seemingly good surf spots on lake Ontario - Southwick Beach State Park , Ellisburg, NY, United States.
Predominant SW winds build large waves along sandy beach.
Other surfspots in the area from North to South (monitored as "Selkirk Shores"):

Sauble Beach on Canadian shore of lake Huron is a great town for a vacation with nice shops and eateries on Main St. and bunch of cottages here and there. It offers great, long, sandy beach which works best on NW, SW winds. The water is refreshing even in Summer, but still, a very good surf spot. If you have issues with parking, go little bit South to Saugeen Nation beach. For current conditions see surf cam. |
The Grand Bend's city beach is good on its own, but it maybe worth checking the Pinery's South beach as well (even though the Pinery is a provincial park with paid access). |
Hamilton, ON has a well-established surf spot on the North side of Burlington/Hamilton lifting bridge (aka The Bridge) works on E, NE winds. Unfortunately the forecast needs to be cut in half for North winds. There are good amenities (change room, shower) on Burlington side (Burlington Beachway Park) side, the sandbar on Burlington side is good for bodyboarding. See videos on how surfing at Hamilton, ON can look like in May, August, September.
Fifty Point with Kelson Beach is south of Hamilton (towards Grimsby). The sandbar works well on North, East, North East winds, conditions match nicely with Grimsby Buoy readings. If you go through conservation area gates, you'll have to pay 10 CAD. Gate hours are 7 a.m. to sunset.
I've read about numerous sandbars and shore breaks on Van Wagners beach working on E, NE had not surf there being happy with the sandy beach at the Bridge.
Web cam at Fifty Point Yacht Club is handy to eyeball current surf conditions and approximate it to all mentioned beaches. On West and South winds all spots around Hamilton are flat, so and if you see a non-zero forecast - you may ignore it.

There could be also a possibility for surfing or bodyboarding at North Beach Provincial Park . The beach is known as wind-surfing spot.
