Woodpecker Bay Surf Guide
Woodpecker Bay in West Coast South Island is a sheltered beach break that has pretty consitent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best wind direction is from the south southeast with some shelter here from south southwest winds. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. No beach break here and there are also left and right reef breaks (left is best). An uncrowded break, even when it is working. Rocks are a hazard.
