Woolamai in Phillip Island is an exposed beach break that usually has waves and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the northeast. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the best swell direction is from the south southwest. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Watch out for dangerous rips.

Visitor Reviews of Woolamai


Andrew from AUSTRALIA writes:

An ever changing beach with many breaks depending on the banks.Will hold up to 6ft but 3-5 is best. Good long walls to work with and barrels. The local kids rip it up when its on. Can get busy. Beware of the rips they are strong. Sharks have been seen but no attacks. A great place to surf with very variable conditions depending on size. Powerfull waves be careful.
