Additional Information
quite a well known spot. can get very good. most of the spots around the Swansea area don't get very crowded so if Swanny Point gets crowded then just head up the road to Bicheno or down the the road to the various other breaks.
Atmosphere
some good friendly localism. just don't be a dickhead and the locals wont treat you like one.

Tassie Tassie Tassie - Why is it that the only people who have lied about photo's and directions is those people from Tassie. The photo of this point has headlands in the background for starters, and the directions given for the stern are all rooted up. Who cares if you surf these places, no one knows you, no one cares, and plenty of others have been there too. Don't feel special, just think yourself lucky that you get to surf at all.
