Wolf Island surf guide
Surf: General: Another National Wildlife Refuge, Wolf Island is actually made up of three islands, with Wolf being the front island. Accessible only by boat, it sits a bit farther back than Sapelo and is somewhat shadowed on NE or SE swells, but works on most easterly swells. There's also a significant current here on a changing tide. Best on an incoming tide, you may face some heavy rips and currents from the nearby rivers, which carry an enormous amount of water.
