Green Island 2 (Lake Conjola)

Green Island 2 (Lake Conjola) is an exposed reef spot on the NSW South Coast with a shallow reef bottom and recurring hazards including rocks and sea urchins, plus shark presence noted in hazard lists. Surf conditions are described as powerful and hollow when a good swell arrives, and the break is known to hold solid swells—though it can become heavy and advanced as swell builds. For surf, timing is important: mid tide is repeatedly identified as the best tide, including guidance that it’s best around mid tide when the tide is rising. Ideal swell angle is described from the south to south-southeast band, and winds are described as best with northeast (NE) conditions for the spot’s overall wind-situation. Wind guidance for surf quality also notes that NW winds are more favorable (offshore), while any E or S component can make the surf messy. Access to the reef/peaks is tide-dependent. One commonly described approach is from Cunjurong Point (near the end of Ottawa Street), using a sandbar crossing at low to mid tide; a low-tide rock crossing is also possible but specifically flagged as dangerous. Strong sweeps and rips near the island/channel are noted, and incoming tide can make the return crossing difficult—so plan crossings conservatively and avoid being caught with rising water. The spot is also described as among the best flat-water kitesurfing options in the region, with freeride/foil styles referenced. Overall, the combination of reef hazards, tide-dependent access, and potential for sharks and crowding means this is best treated as an advanced, situational spot: respect the lineup, follow local timing advice, and keep gear/approach decisions tightly tied to tide and conditions.
