The Wave
East-northeast wind is the clean side, southwest swell is the best trigger, and mid to fuller tide usually makes the bank easier to read.
The beach is not patrolled.
Surf GuideVictoria
Wonthaggi
Wonthaggi is the Williamsons Beach surf check on the Bass Coast, an exposed beach break south of town with a clean east-northeast wind lane and a solid southwest swell window. It is more of a practical local wave than a destination break, and the water can get busy when it turns on. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Wonthaggi in Victoria.

Lineup Guide
Use Williamsons Beach and the Lower Powlett Road access for the main surf check.
Lower tide exposes more of the submerged rocks and makes the paddle-out less forgiving.
Watch for submerged rocks, busy water on good days, and a generally exposed Bass Coast read.
