About this Spot

Willyama Bay is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. The spot provides both left and right waves. The bottom consists of coral reef and sand, offering a normal quality wave suitable for surfers of all levels. The waves at Willyama Bay sometimes break and are less than 50 meters in length. The spot is typically empty, providing a peaceful surfing experience. Nearby surf spots include Pondie, West Cape, Chinamans, Richard’s Reef, and Ethels Wreck. Willyama Bay is characterized by its rocky surroundings and a-frame waves that are long but easy to paddle. The left wave is a bit fat, while the right is faster. It’s a good spot when conditions are too small for the reef breaks and too big for the beach breaks. The location can be stormy or windy, similar to Rhinos. To reach Willyama Bay, head through the roads near Marion Bay houses, just across from the Marion Bay surf shop. Look for a few mini dirt roads, and once you see a bay ahead, look right for a little path. A few meters down, you’ll find a sign for Willyama Bay. Follow the path, turn right, and continue until you reach the beach. Remember to check the surf forecast and report before heading out, and use a map or webcam to get a sense of the current conditions. It’s important to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. When the spot is crowded, be sure to follow surf etiquette. Respect the locals.
