Friendly Beaches is a coastal beach break located on the eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia, facing west toward the Tasman Sea. The spot features a sandy beach backed by temperate forest, with scattered rocky formations visible in the nearshore waters. This is a low-energy environment with average waves of 0.87m and minimal wind reliability (3.8%), making it suitable primarily for light-wind or learner-focused sessions. The exposed western coastline receives Southern Ocean swells, but energy is typically modest. Best conditions occur with north winds (0°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Water temperatures average 13.4°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. The beach is sheltered by forest and relatively uncrowded, making it accessible for beginners. However, the low average wind and wave energy mean sessions may be limited. Kiters should be aware of rocky hazards in shallow water and potential kelp beds. This spot suits learners seeking a sheltered, less crowded environment rather than those seeking high-performance conditions.
