Woodpecker Bay Surf Guide
Woodpecker Bay in West Coast South Island is a sheltered beach break that has fairly consistent 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. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the best swell direction is from the southwest. No beach break here and there are also left and right reef breaks (left is best). The location means that it never gets crowded. Watch out for rocks.
