Woodpecker Bay Surf Guide
Woodpecker Bay in West Coast South Island is a sheltered beach break that has reasonably consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the south southeast with some shelter here from south southwest winds. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. There is no beach break and both right and left reef breaks (left is best). Even when the surf is up, crowds are unknown. Take care of rocks in the line up.
