Inskip Point is the ferry-gateway sandbar at the north end of the Rainbow Beach peninsula, where a narrow recurved spit can peel a left when the northeast swell lines up. It feels more like a remote access point than a town beach, with a camping-strip atmosphere and very little crowd pressure.

Live updates
WSW wind is the clean lane, NE swell is the main trigger, and all tides stay workable, with mid tide sometimes tidying the sandbar a little if the bars are holding.
Rips, undertow, and strong tidal currents sit just off the beach, so check the bars before paddling and expect an empty lineup most days.
Drive out from Rainbow Beach to the point and use the small roadside parking spots near the ferry landing or camp areas.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
