The state's capital is Hobart.
If you are a surf lover, then Tasmania is your holiday spot. Howrah is a beach-side suburb, that lies opposite to Hobart. Howrah Beach is a sandbar break that is sheltered by Howrah Point. To reach the spot, park at Wentworth park and follow the path down to the beach. Here you can explore the waves with swell sizes from 1 m/3 ft and holding up to 2 m/6 ft. The best tide movement is rising tide and the ideal tide position is low tide only.

The site is suitable for beginners due to the short wavelength. Keep in mind that, the best period for waves is winter.
