“Coal Point is Bruny’s best pointbreak providing there is a strong pulse of SE swell. Hairy lefts unload over rock and kelp, the first section being fast with a challenging take-off. Barrels are guaranteed as it speeds down the shelf before letting up on the inside.

The local crew covet this one and since it is low to medium consistency, there’s the chance of a bit of vibe if you don’t have immaculate manners and skills. Dry sucks and a tricky entry exit add to the chances of picking up an injury here. Look further north along Adventure Bay for more mellower options.”
