general information

A recently discovered Tasmanian Big Wave spot lying 26 kilometres off the south coast near Pedra Blanca. The main wave breaks to the east of Pedra Blanca near a bathymetric feature called Eddystone rock. Featured in the Tom Carroll, Ross Clarke Jones documentary "StormSurfers". If you're heading out here to surf, you'll either be one of the handful of guys in the world that can tow-in to these monsters, or have a death wish.
