Winkipop surf guide

Winkipop is a surf spot located right next to Bell's Beach, known for its long, fast, and hollow waves. It works best with solid swells and has a rocky reef that can be tricky, so it's more suited for experienced surfers. This spot can really come alive under the right conditions, making it a favorite for those looking to score some challenging waves.

The wave breaks are generally a right-hand reef break, primarily benefiting from swells coming in from the South and Southwest. It can handle wave sizes up to around 3 feet (0.9 meters) but really gets exciting at higher swells. The best setups happen during mid to high tide, especially with Northwest winds. Experienced surfers can enjoy the warp-speed rides and potential barrel sections, but itโ€™s definitely not for beginners.

When surfing Winkipop, it's important to be aware of the locals who know the spot well. With a challenging reef and fast waves, respect is key. The surf tends to break over an uneven reef, so navigating the take-off and finding the right spots is essential for scoring the best rides. Be prepared to put in some effort against the rip, as it can be a bit of a workout.
