Coal Point
Edit SpotAbout
great wave, worth the wait, I've been waiting 4 years to catch it, been on Bruny last 4 summers. caught in february 08.
Atmosphere:
This is an outstanding left. OK Local bruny crew Know and love this break. It does not break often but when it does they'll ALL be there. Respect required both of the local crew and especially of the break.A wipeout here can have have you going to the doctor.
Additional Info:
steep take off, increasing hollow section and speed , watch your exit as the rocks come up fast at the end. The swell has to be just right for this place to work. It's got a similar swell window to the hobart points. There is a small carpark overlooking the break so if it's on, as you drive by you'll know.To get here you've got to go to Bruny Is, $25 ferry ride, about 45 min from hobart, then about a 40min drive down the island.
