Wylie Bay in Far South Australia is a quite exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best wind direction is from the north. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the southwest. The beach break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Take care of rips, sharks and isolation.
