Point Addis

Point Addis is a scenic surf break on Victoria’s Surf Coast, west of Melbourne, near Anglesea and Aireys Inlet. It sits within the Point Addis Marine National Park area, so the setting is rugged and protected, with cliff-backed coastline, bushland, and sweeping ocean views.

Surf profile

• Wave type: Mostly a reef/rock ledge break with some sand influence depending on conditions.
• Best swell: Works best with south to southwest swell.
• Wind: Typically likes offshore northerly winds; strong westerlies and southerlies can make it messy.
• Skill level: Usually intermediate to advanced due to power, exposure, and the need for good swell/wind alignment.
• Wave quality: Can offer clean, powerful, hollow or steep waves on the right day, but it’s very condition-dependent.

Conditions and character

Point Addis is known for its raw, exposed feel and can hold decent size when the Surf Coast is working. It’s not as crowded as some of the more famous nearby breaks, partly because access is less direct and conditions can be punchy. The coastline and water can be colder and more challenging than many other Australian surf destinations.

Hazards / things to know

• Reef and rocks can be exposed at lower tides.
• Strong rips and currents may be present.
• Local marine and environmental protections mean you should be respectful of signage and access rules.
• The area can be remote-feeling, so surf with caution and check conditions before heading out.
