Woody Head
Edit SpotAbout
Check out the A framed reef break just left of the Woody Head boat ramp. Really hot at 6 feet.
Atmosphere:
I grew up surfing this location. Never a crowd. I particularly like the screaming right hander at the Breadfuit hole. Keep an eye out for fisherman, they tend to get a little cranky.
Additional Info:
Lots of surfing options. Seagulls hole off the point, Breadfruit hole in front of the headland and Mossys on the south side. Lots of small peaky reef breaks
