Information About

Ocean Beach Tasmania




Exposed to the ocean with no landmass at this longitude between it and South America, this beach can be exposed to extreme weather conditions. In serious weather it can have large extended lines of breakers, and a swell at the Cape Sorell Waverider Buoy at up to 20+ metres.

The mist and spray from the surf can at times give the impression of fog.

Whale strandings occur along this stretch of the west coast - and can be difficult to remedy due to the isolated location and low population numbers to assist in whale rescue.
