Phillip Island Woolamai

Beach breakIntermediate to advanced

Cape Woolamai on Phillip Island is the island's most exposed and powerful surf beach, drawing consistent Southern Ocean swells across a broad sandy bay. It produces solid beach break peaks with some reef influence at the southern end, offering quality waves for intermediate to advanced surfers. The dramatic granite headland creates a striking backdrop.
