Woolamai surf guide

Woolamai is a well-known surf spot located on Victoria’s Phillip Island. It features a long stretch of beach that attracts surfers looking for consistent waves. The spot is often crowded, as it's a popular place for both locals and visitors. The crucial thing about Woolamai is that it works best with a South or SouthWest swell, and it’s the first place many surfers check for wave conditions. This beach offers a variety of spots along its length, so there’s usually a place to catch waves regardless of the crowd.

The surf here is mainly a beach break, with waves that can break left and right. It can handle swell sizes starting at about 1 foot (0.3 meters) and can produce a range of wave types. You can find everything from gentle, cruisy rideable waves to faster, more challenging walls, depending on the tide and swell. The best time to surf Woolamai is often around low to mid tide, but it can be good at any tide. For wind, an east direction is usually preferred, helping to clean up the waves as they roll in.

Woolamai is a solid spot for surfers of all skill levels, including beginners, thanks to the varying wave types and conditions. The area is known to have some strong rips, so it's wise to be aware of your surroundings while you surf. It’s also a regular spot for surf competitions, which adds to the vibe, but there’s plenty of space for those who want to escape the hustle and catch some waves in peace.
