South Australia – Finger Point (Port MacDonnell)

Welcome to Finger Point — a rugged wave spot right on the edge of Port MacDonnell, where limestone cliffs meet Southern Ocean muscle. This one's a local favourite for seasoned wave kiters who like it raw, powerful, and without the crowd.

It lights up in a S to SW wind, delivering clean cross-onshore conditions and consistent swell wrapping into the point. The reef and rock shelves shape up long peeling waves, but they also mean it's not a place to muck around. Precision launching, confident surf handling, and a solid self-rescue game are non-negotiable here.

You’ve got a narrow beach backed by dunes, and some sandy rigging room depending on tide and weed. There's parking up the top, but no facilities — just salt, wind, and waves.

If you’re looking for a real Southern bite with space to move and waves to work, Finger’s a good call. But it's a spot that gives back what you put in — come prepped, come confident.
