Western Head is a surf spot known for its long lefts that peel over various sections of rock and cobblestone. It’s best suited for a NorthEast swell, and when the conditions align, you can expect some fun waves. The area can attract a decent crowd, especially on good days, so getting there early might be a good idea if you want to snag a few waves.

The surf here generally handles swell sizes around 4ft (about 1.2 meters). The waves break over boulders, delivering both reef and cobblestone rides. You’ll find that the waves tend to break off into multiple peaks which can make for an interesting session. The most favorable wind conditions come from the NorthEast, and regardless of the tide—low, mid, or high—you can find something rideable. Keep in mind that this spot is best suited for intermediate surfers due to the rocky bottom and varying wave conditions.

Western Head can get big and unruly, particularly at the end of the headland where the swell pushes through. So, if you’re looking for a spot that can deliver some solid rides with the right swell direction and wind, this might just be a place to check out. Just be prepared for a bit of a crowd when the surf is on.
