green point

Green Point, TAS (Tasmania), Australia is a scenic surf spot known for its exposed ocean beach break and often powerful southern-ocean swell.

Quick description

• Type: Mostly beach break with shifting peaks
• Best swell: South to southwest swell
• Wind: Offshore or light northerly winds are usually best
• Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy when conditions line up, but it’s generally more exposed and less consistent than sheltered mainland spots
• Crowds: Usually relatively quiet compared with more famous Australian surf breaks

What it’s like

Green Point tends to pick up plenty of raw energy from the Southern Ocean, so waves can be strong, fast, and a bit unruly. On a good day you might find clean, hollow sections and multiple peaks along the beach. On bigger days, it can become powerful and challenging.

Good for

• Intermediate to advanced surfers
• Surfers comfortable with colder water and changing conditions
• People looking for a less crowded, more rugged Tasmanian surf experience

Things to keep in mind

• Cold water: Wetsuit required much of the year
• Exposure: Conditions can change quickly
• Hazards: Strong currents, rips, and heavy swell can make it demanding
• Best check: Local surf reports and a quick look on arrival, since sandbanks can shift
