Woolamai Surf Guide
Some of the best beachbreaks in Victoria are found along this golden stretch of beach. From Magiclands at the eastern end along to Anzacs at the west, take your pick from a selection of several A-frame peaks. On a good day, you'll see hollow peaks breaking left and right all the way along this eight-kilometer stretch. The beach continues further west past Ocean Reach and Forrest Caves, and if you're prepared to look around and walk a little, you should be able to avoid the crowd. The handful of reefs below the waterline provide stability for the sand - meaning the chunky southern swells that buffet this coastline don't wash away the banks after every storm. This place picks up a fair bit of swell, and in summer months the standard of surfing is high. Mid-week, in the cooler months, it's still possible to get world-class waves with only a handful of people around.
