Old Woman Ledge

Edit Spot

About

It's just an unreal wave, when you score it good every wave will spit, just pull in and you will have the best surf of your life.
Had the best surf of my life here by far (comparable to Box or Shark Island) when the beach break is 2 foot this spot will be 4 plus.

Atmosphere:
Very sharky, you wont really give a **** when you see the wave, but sharky. 20 min paddle. It's an awesome wave (would have to be the best reef in Queensland).

Additional Info:
Only surfed by a handfull of local bodyboarders (no standups have the figs to tackle it). Not a surfers wave, best lider wave in Queensland. It crancks, don't hit it up if you're not an experienced bodyboarder.

2 km paddle from Mudjimba. It's on the eastern side of Old Woman island (not to worried about giving away the location as no one would surf it).
