no people
got to love tassie. if you dont mind cold water, terrible weather and lots of rain plus not the best wave quality. atleast there are no crounds. in a large swell i can look out of my window and see a point wave tubing over a 1km away and another 500m closer, i have never seen anyone surfing these breaks.

Gringo,
Your typical of the reason I left tassie - small minded ignorant locals. I grew up surfing there and had some great waves but dont flatter yourself there are many epic waves all around the world and travelling round experiencing them is one of lifes great pleasures. I live in Margaret river WA now, which is home to some of the best waves in the world. We have travelling surfers here all the time and it is great. There are plenty of waves to go around and it just adds to the rich tapestry of the surfing lifestyle. This is an overcrowded planet we live in but for the keen surfer there will always be uncrowded epic waves to ride and explore, at least in our life time - so keep your macho localism to youself and grow up, no one wants to hear it.

best time to surf
hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone knew what the surf conditions in Tassie look like during the summer? Im heading there for 2 weeks through December and into Jan. Any info would be sweet, cheers!

no kooks
winter in tassie is best. It gets heaps of swell and the water temperature means that kooks are pretty much non existant from April - October. Bring ya 4/3 plus booties and hoody though. Ice cream freeze is something you have to learn to live with. In the cooler months, the crowds (if you can call it that) are very friendly, except at Hobarts points were there are a few 40 year old plus mal riders who think they own the wave, but thtas nothing if youve been to goldy.

lighten up
Why are you Tassie locals so extremely protective about info of the spots? You live on an island almost twice the size as mine (Belgium) with only 500.000 people!!! You live among one of the most beautifull and natural enviroments in the whole world, with only 500.000 people!!! As a comparison, in Belgium live 10 mil people and in holland 15. You should all stop worrying, even if some or crowds come, their must come an awfull lot to crowden your beautifull isle. You lucky bastards!!
