Point Impossible is the Surf Coast's quieter alternative to Bells and Winki Pop—a quality right-hand reef break between Torquay and Ocean Grove that picks up the same SW groundswell but with a fraction of the crowd. The break has two sections: the Insides offers a gentler ride suited to learners, while the Outsides delivers more powerful walls over the outer reef. When clean SW swell and NW winds combine on a low tide, Point Impossible can produce surprisingly good waves in a mellow atmosphere.
