Winki Pop

Winki Pop is the high-performance right-hander that sits immediately west of Bells Beach, sharing the same cliff backdrop and cold Southern Ocean waters. The wave breaks faster and hollower than Bells, offering a more critical barrel section on solid swells. The local crew here is tight and experienced—this is not a spot for beginners or those unfamiliar with localism. When SW groundswells coincide with NW winds, Winki Pop produces some of Victoria's best barrels. The wave has featured in countless Australian surf films and is considered a proving ground for local surfers.
