Coal Point surf guide

Coal Point is a surf spot located on Bruny Island. It's known for being a solid pointbreak that works best when there's a strong southeast swell. This area can get pretty lively, especially when the conditions align just right. While it can produce some good waves, it’s not the most consistent spot out there, so keep that in mind when planning your surf sessions.

The waves here are mainly lefts that break over an uneven reef. When it’s on, Coal Point can offer fast rides with challenging take-offs. You can expect barrels as the swell rolls down the shelf, but it’s definitely a spot for experienced surfers due to the tricky nature of the waves. It handles swell sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter) and can also pick up swells coming from the east and south. The best wind direction is from the northwest, and it tends to work well at low, mid, and even high tide.

While the surf can be good, remember that the local crew takes pride in this spot, so showing respect in the water is essential to avoid any bad vibes. The entry and exit can be a bit tricky, so being careful is a must. If you’re looking for something more mellow, you might want to head north along Adventure Bay, where there are other options available for different skill levels.
