Spot guide
Woolamai, Phillip Island is an SSW-facing beach break in Victoria, Australia. It picks up swell from SW to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 78% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.
Rare slot: the Bass Strait lets in swell from 135.2° (SE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 338 km out. How slot swells work
