Tam Oshanter Point

Tam Oshanter Point is a surf spot located in Tasmania, Australia. This spot is known for its generally left-hand point break that occasionally barrels. Surfers can expect a nice long hitable wall at the take-off, which fades into a couple of cutback sections. The wave then walls up on the inside, allowing for a few nice turns. On bigger days, the wave finishes off with a fast barrel section past a boat ramp. The best time to catch this wave is when you anticipate the wind swinging off-shore from the south, with at least 2-2.5 meters of swell in Bass Strait and a north element in it. The weather systems in Tasmania move quickly, so be prepared to act fast. It’s often worth spending the whole day at the spot when you expect the wind to swing southerly. Tam Oshanter Point is a good regular wave when the swell is entering Bass Strait, especially convenient for surfers based in Launceston. To reach the spot, head north on Weymouth Road and turn left onto Tam Oshanter Road, following it to the end. The road turns into a dirt track near the last few houses before you turn right to drive up the point. Parking is usually available near the boat ramp about a third of the way up the point. The wave direction is left, and the sea bottom consists of boulders. It breaks best at low and medium tides and is suitable for surfers of all levels. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and the spot is typically uncrowded. However, always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals and be sure to follow surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Keywords to keep in mind for this surf spot include surf, surfing, spot, forecast, report, map, and webcam.
