Clifton Beach Tides
Tasmania's best-known consistent beach break, Clifton Beach is where Hobart surfers go for their daily fix. The crisp Southern Ocean tides create clean, powerful waves that reflect the wild energy of the Roaring Forties — cooler, sharper, and more exposed than anything on the mainland.
